Migration paths to and from Missouri

In the past, most people moved in clusters of families or communities. The vision of the lone individual and the lone family settling the frontier is a myth we learned in the movies. By tracking the migration of families, we gain a better understanding of our ancestors' lives, and we can find important clues to who they were. Pam specializes in researching families that migrated to Missouri from Illinois, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, or other southern states.
