Dear Group - I need to ask what may appear to be a "stupid" question as in "DUH" Regarding our connected ancestors, Arbogasts, MicDonalds, Wimer/Wymers, and on and on - while the ancestors were in Europe in their various locations - how did THEY KNOW to come to America. Were there postings around in villages, etc- as in "Hey, guys, how about a cruise to this place called America" And after they decided "Think I'm going to cruise on over to that America place" how did they know WHERE TO ARRIVE and how to END UP in Pendleton, and so forth. Can anyone shed light on this profound question to me. Barbara McDonald Levine
