This is an interesting and useful little map that shows where our family members lived, at least according to the telephone book in 1990.
There are other distributions as well, according to the census for 1850, 1880, and 1920.
You can also use this little map for other families in whom you are interested.
For instructions on how to use it, go to: http://www.hamrick.com/names
For a list of actual places that bear our family's name, go the the copy of the GNIS file. This is only a copy and the links are not activated.
To use the links, go to the original. There you will also have access to two maps. The second one, which is the one you want, tends to load slowly so be patient. This is why the copy is provided. And of course, when all else fails, read the instructions.
