TreeAlive maps family trees. When a visitor's ancestors lived in Ohio, the markers standing near those places surface automatically alongside their family's journey:
Birthplace of Thomas A. Edison · a few streets from where a family lived in the 1850s · the brick cottage where the inventor was born in 1847, built by his father in 1841
When a marker stands near a place in your own tree, you have a personal reason to go see it. Open the live demo tree, choose the Crossings tab, and turn on Historical Markers to see the experience working (the demo family’s markers are in Pennsylvania; an Ohio family sees Ohio’s).
