Cadastral Map Supplemental Aide

This is a supplemental aide created by Martha Allen from her personal work with Cadastral Maps.  These maps were created in the late 1700s and mid-1800s were created for the purposes of taxation, but are a wonderful resource for genealogists today.  The objectives of this lecture are to summarize the history of cadastral records in the Austrian Empire (also referred to as the Empire) between the late 1700s and mid-1800s with a special emphasis on areas that were once Polish but were taken over by the Austrians in the early 1770s.  Also, it presents examples of documents that can be of value in genealogical research and provides hints helpful in tracking down the exact location where one’s ancestors lived.
