Any luck yet???? ============================ Migration Routes from Pennsylvania to Virginia This site seems to be a collection of messages from a mail list discussing ancestral movements, mainly of Palantine Germans, but also Scots Irish...it discusses both the How and Why their folks moved on. http://www.indwes.edu/Faculty/bcupp/genes/migrate.htm ======================== Geography and Strategic Importance of the Valley This is part of a larger study of the Shenandoah Valley during the Civil War, and the need for preservation of the battle sites. This particular section is useful because it gives a nice description of the roads, waterways and railroads in situation about 1860; for Civil War buffs, this is a great site because of the wealth of information about the battles fought there. http://www2.cr.nps.gov/abpp/shenandoah/svs2-2.html ============================= A Concise History of Early Itawamba County An overview of the various movements of people into this area in NE MS from the Spanish to the beginning of the civil war. http://www.network-one.com/~robfra/history.html The Long Road to a New Home - Produced by the Chickasaw Nation Department of Information April 17, 1978 - Reprint: September 1993 A discussion of the Chickasaw removal to OK.
