You can google "pioneer migrations" + the 2 states in the search and you can come up with a map if you get curious. No guarantee *your* ancestors took that route, but I would think it would be a high probability. I use Google Images to get maps....way faster. I have seen migration handled on other USGenwebsites a couple different ways, but I think the best one is a simple table: A table with 4-5 columns. The surname and the place they came from and the extra boxes are where they stopped in between. The Werts would look like this: Name, county (if you are collecting from Putnam, Mont'y, Park and Fountain), the place they were before Montgomery Co, the place before that, the place they landed, and the country they originated from. If one doesn't know, they it is left blank. WERT, Henry Fountain Ohio, Hamilton , Colerain Ohio, Greene New Jersey Germany WERT, Richard Derrick Montg'y Ohio, Hamilton , Colerain (Blank) New Jersey Germany I hope this beautiful table comes out right in the listserve.
