I've not kept tabs on this, but in general my research (not just in my own family) has shown migration from Grant County WI to counties in NE Iowa (including Fayette & Clayton) and elsewhere in Iowa, NE Kansas, and SE South Dakota (Minnehaha and Moody Counties); also to California, Oregon and Washington.
