Was there a trend in migration patterns? I hear Texas and California mentioned a lot when you all talk about families that kept moving west. What about the dates that families left? It sure would be interesting to have data on families who left, where they went and when. I know families who farmed kept moving west when their soil was worn out. I've read about families who were refugees during the War Between the States and went west. Then there were all the homesteaders after the Indians were moved on reservations in the west. Did people from particular states tend to move in patterns to particular states? Janeane ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
There is a map now published called "Western Emigrant Trails". It is very detailed and shows almost all the immigrant trails and years established going west after the Mississippi crossings. You can write Western Emigrant Trails Research Center P.O. Box 641555 Omaha, NE 68164 or go to Google and look them up on the Internet. The map is well, well worth the money to get.
