Welcome to the GeoGenealogy

website!

My name is Howard Mathieson, I’m the creator of the GeoGenealogy mapping service. I’m a retired Geography Instructor with a background in Geographic Information Systems. I retired in 2000 after 30 years of teaching. Since that time I have turned much of my attention to GeoGenealogy, the application of Geography to Genealogy. I specialize in mapping the  genealogy of the Ulster and Scotland. I produce a wide range of maps, from surname distribution maps, county maps, thematic maps, and maps geared to your personal needs. If you are writing a book, building a web page, or planning a reunion, my maps can provide context and interest for your project. Contact me by e-mail with the heading “map enquiry”and we can discuss your project. Feel free to download any of the maps on the site. On a personal note, I winter in Arizona, where I lecture for groups and societies on topics relating to the Genealogy of the British Isles. The remainder of my time is split between Winnipeg and my cottage in Lake of the Woods Ontario. My other interests are gardening at the lake and spending time with my family.
