I have researched some of the migration patterns during my own genealogy research and am not surprised that many people from, NY, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois moved into Iowa and Nebraska. Since the eastern states were settled very early in the history of our country, by the early 1800's the farm land was starting to "give out" and more and more immigrants were moving in. So many people sold their farms and started moving west. My own ancestors migrated from Virginia into Kentucky, up to Illinois, and then into Iowa, Nebraska, Colorado and points west.

You are an angel! Our Edgar Beghtel seemed to move around Nebraska although he finally settled in the Southwest corner. Anything about him in the book? Thanks! Jane p.s. I have done a lot of genealogy in New York State and all the NY emigrants to Nebraska is an interesting twist I had never known. --part0_916672220_boundary--
