If Gary or anyone else is to build a meaningful database for migration, the time period and surname involved are necessary. Plus, a link to where more information may be obtained. I forgot the time frame for my REIMAN migration from Canton Aargau, Switzerland to Red Cloud and then to St Stephens [Lawrence], Nebraska, December 1879/January 1880. Bill --

There apparently was a cluster of families that went together from Connecticutt to Pennsylvania to Ohio to Wisconsin to Iowa and then to Custer County, Nebraska. Some detoured from Ohio to Michigan to Custer County. Prior to 1900, several of these families also went on down to Oklahoma Territory where they homesteaded. Families included KIMBALL, GIDDINGS, DART, MARION, PHILIPS, KRICKBAUM, OLIVER, MARSH, McDONALD, HALL, SHERWOOD, and MOSIER. Wayne Montgomery Modesto, California

This is a very good idea. I have one line traced to Nebraska on my husband's side. The Lewin migration path is as follows: England->Bristol Co.

My poetry has been published in 37 states (so far) Here's one of my favorites; GENEALOGY My Ancestor Grand Mother I search for you yet do not even know your name I press on praying my efforts will prove fruitful the records do not list you or the other women who have lived and loved and laughed, gave birth, and died, the records perpetrate the myth that you were never here but I stand whole and bare my soul and vow to find you as I live I search for you in old records, in churches, at the Embassy, in small dimly lit rooms in the back of obscure libraries and archives and pour over barely readable handwritten ledgers with magnifying glass and flashlight I live on mainly toast these days there isn't time for meals or much sleep feeling as I always do, on the very brink of discovery Perhaps THIS will be the day I find the one seemingly insignificiant clue, which will lead me to you although I did not find you listed in the Census Records I am not deterred, you may turn up yet, on an Immigration or Naturalization list somewhere perhaps, or maybe tucked away inside some bank of vital statistics, long forgotten like so many others, your name having become lost over the long years Your name could be lying even now amidst the millions of documents stored and locked away safeguarded in the bowels of a giant wherehouse all stopped up from apathetic crowds who have long ceased their visits your precious name, lying just inside a myriad of records packed in tight, packed in to stay never guessing I would come Sarah Elizabeth Rose @1996 srose@jeffnet.org

A very prominent migration to and through Nebraska was the Mormon Trail. Prominent especially in Nebraska's history.

> A very prominent migration to and through Nebraska was the Mormon > Trail. Prominent especially in Nebraska's history. > Yes, that's true. I think the Mormon Trail started at the Missouri River, and ran on the north side of the Platte River, and the Oregon Trail started at Independence, Missouri, and ran on the south side of the Platte River. Where not looking so much on the road or trail or train route that they traveled on, but the locations where they lived as they came from Europe, Asia, etc., to the United States, and then where they settled in Nebraska.

The NEGenWeb project is seeking information on paths of migration into Nebraska. For example, my personal research has shown the following immigration. Germany -> Texas-> Ozaukee Co, Wisconsin -> Seward Co., Nebraska Germany -> Wisconsin -> Nebraska Germany -> Allen Co., Indiana -> Seward Co., Nebraska Germany -> Illinois -> Seward Co., Nebraska Germany -> Platte Co., Nebraska Germany -> Russia -> Lancaster Co., Nebraska Sweden -> Nebraska Along with the state, include the name of the County where people immigrated to, if you know it, and return your response to the NEBRRoots mailing list.

You really want the response to the list? Here's what I've got in my family....
