Pre or Post May 10, 1869: How Did Your Ancestors Get "There?"
Barbara Fines Price
Once "Uncle Etheldred" reached our shores, did he walk, ride, row or fly to his new destination? Pre-railroad migration methods from 1800 to 1860 differ from post-railroad migration 1850-1900. Did the railroad really change the way they migrated? How did they get there without a GPS?
