    1. [GABALDWI] Migration Project
    2. Crilley
    3. We've often talked about how our families moved to various locations.....NOW there is a place for everyone to submit these migrations! The Migrations project at http://www.migrations.org I just briefly visited it and wanted you to urge you to get your materials together and post on the site. Visit the "post data" site and look around to see what you need. Basically it is this: 1)Name 2)Year born 3)Year died **can leave these blank or estimate 4)Where born Town/county State Then you get to the migration part. You've already listed the place of birth.... 5)so the next step is the 1st move the family made. (Instructions are very clear... so take a few minutes to read them carefully) 6)Additional information You can add some special notes if you know other members of the family that moved at the same time. Since there are lots of spaces, you can provide all the movement for that individual until he dies. Then start out with another individual and move that family. It should be lots of fun! On the front page, you can click on the State, i.e. Georgia....but the Georgia page isn't on-line yet. When it does come on, then you'll see in alphabetical order all those who have posted. In the meantime, you can post your materials from the FRONT page, and then when the Georgia page is on-line, all of it will appear. It should be interesting to do "searches" to see other families that came to the same area at the same time from the same place!! Our county pages will be able to link , but just thought you might beinterested in taking a look at this in the meantime! Go get your dates, and names together....and start posting. If you have ANY questions, just ask. I know lots of you haven't posted much before, but it really isn't that difficult. It's like anything.....very confusing the first time you post something on-line, but then it gets easy.... Virginia
