Subject: [GT] Is there a site for migration & dates
Date: Sat, 02 Sep 2000 13:33:28 -0400


I have come to a conclusion that I sure need some reference materail to post
next to the genealogy work area, and in the notebook I take with me.

Is there a site to get migration routes from Europe to USA/colonies? Is there
a migration route in the US as we went westward etc? Also is there a date
chart that I can look up what might have happened in the year of XXX??

I have a relative that was going from WI to OR in about 1845, and returned in
1847, only to go to Calf in 1850. Later he took a serious religious
conviction and joined a church.
Did he go to Oregon with the Morman movement? And then did gold fever hit him?
And was it possible that his 16 yr old son was killed in the Civil War? and
another cousin was about 16 and died in NY......did that happen near the time
that the teenage boys held off the general coming to fight from the Canadian
border........and did the Norway family come because>..........and GET the
IDEA??
Thanks for the help!!!
