Hi All:
Cindy's comment got me thinking. Would it be useful to have a database
that gave some specific information on family migrations in a format like the
following?

Surname Date From Co From State To County
To State

Gray c1780 Rockingham NH
Caledonia VT

By sorting such a database by surname and destination one might get useful
clues as to a family's origins for tracing ancestry. Likewise, by sorting by
surname and origin one would get a picture of how a family my have dispersed
for tracing descendants. Any comments? Laird Towle
