Hi All, Had to comment on Esther's post ...I agree 100% that we all miss too much when members take responses off-list. If it's general responses, I say let us all in on it. Granted, if you're sending a 3 page GED, others might get testy, so I guess some discretion would be in order. Maybe it's just the "peeping Tom" in me, but I do get interested in migration patterns that emerge, families that intermarry frequently, etc.. Like Esther, I feel like I'm missing something....and it might be that vital clue. It also gives others an idea of where to look for info. In that vein, I'd like to throw one out there for us to chew on. I've noticed a trend in my collateral HEITZMANS to migrate to the Ohio area around the 1830's. I'm sure some are BLM grants. I'm just wondering if many groups of freinds/neighbors made the move together. I have HEITZMANS linked to the GLESS/GLASS family, and just found them both in several areas of Ohio...together. I wonder also, when I look at the Ohio state map...it's almost as though the state was populated by migrants from the state on NJ, from the duplication of names. Any ideas? I've also seen so many names from the Warren, Hunterdon and Northampton areas that I wonder about organized "trains" to the area. Anyone know of any info on that? Happy Hunting, Wendy
