Label a location
To label a location means giving that location a name. The name will appear along with where the address is now.

1. Click on Add a label. Found on the left menu under the star items.

2. Type in the label you want.

The name appears above the address in bold red letters.

The name also appears on the left menu under the picture of the building in the blue section.

The name will appear on whatever device you are signed into Google with.

Now whenever I go to this town I will see this on my Google Map!!

About Lianne Kruger

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.

I have articles published on BYU Studies Quarterly magazine website and FamilySearch as well as AGS Relatively Speaking and Tree Climber.
