Where in the world are the Walker 1st cousins

As many of you know, Kathy and I have been working on the family history, to the point our kids think we only care about dead people. To remedy that, I put the following together on Google Maps.

Ever wonder where all the Walker 1st cousins live? Copy this entire string into your web browser and see the locations plotted on a map. Click on a bubble to find out who lives there. Zoom in to get a more exact location, in some cases the actual street.

Let me know if I have something wrong or you are in the wrong location. Also, I am missing a couple, so any information you can provide is helpful. This also shows that the family reunions should really be at David Walker's house . . .

Wow! Thanks for all of your work! Where do you find the time?

Reunion at my house? That would be interesting. No where to park, no where to move around, and no big yard. I guess I need a new house.

You missed someone... Me! I live in zip code 68715 if you wanna add that to the map

Alex - I only put on the 1st cousins so far, so you are not on there. Since you asked, I'll add you with a different color marker.

Doris - Copy the entire string of characters into your web browser address field, replacing all the text that is there, and then push enter on your keyboard.

Craig, Doris' problem may be the same as I had. I had to keep reducing the text size until all of the link was visible. Otherwise, it gets cut off when you "copy" and doesn't connect you properly. Maybe you could adjust your post so the link isn't cut off.
Also, you have Mom listed as 22 Greenway Drive with no name.

Oops, I didnt read that it was only first cousins... I guess it would be alot more crowded if it were everyone... Also, Thanks for adding me as the Master Auto Mechanic

Thanks for changing the link. It will be easier for everyone

OK, Alex, it looks like you are the closest to the middle of the country. Since your kind father has declined to hold the campout, it will have to be your responsibilty. So, we can all mark on our calendars for Nebraska for the campout. The other advantage is that Alex can diagnose our cars on our way there and then fix them all while we are doing the 3 day all you can eat buffet! Oh, I can be so brilliant sometimes!!

Well I do live on a 20+ acre farm... But I wont be here for the summer, I will be in Ohio again

David A Walker said...

Alex, Do you think Tom wants to pass the reunion torch to you? That could be a lot of fun to watch at the campout this summer. Craig, are you still coming to the reunion after dropping Scott off?

It sure sounds like it
