   The Move!
For centuries, people of all ages and ethnicities have left their mother countries in order to begin a new life.

Was your ancestor one of the first into an area, or did he come only after the area was settled? Did he move with a group? What route did he follow to make the move? What were the roads like—or did the family use trains, canals, or river barges? Were many other people following the route at the same time?

Discovering your ancestors' migration experiences can be one of the most rewarding parts of genealogy.
