Geo-coding is an emerging technology that is part of WorldVitalRecords strategy to apply Web 2.0 functionality to genealogy research. WorldVitalRecords is not the first to apply geo-coding to genealogy data, but it is the first to apply geo-coding functionality to every data set.

Geo-coding is the process of identifying the latitude and longitude of a geographic location. This location is then displayed on a user-interactive map that allows for zooming and panning. These maps can show roads, county and/or country borders, and even satellite maps to identify the location. The primary purpose is to see the geographic location in relation to other surrounding geographic locations. An additional purpose is to follow migrations over time. Seeing surrounding communities can also help to identify neighbors and/or extended family members.

One of the places we have used Geo-coding is in our Social Security Death Index.
