Is everyone with Crawford County ancestors now in Texas? Seems like everyone who has posted a response expressing interest is - like me - far from their PA roots ! Was there some sort of mass migration that brought us all down here? I am a PhD candidate at the University of Texas and I have a colleague who is from Meadville - which I thought was quite a coincidence at first. Now I'm discovering lots of folks from the PA/NY region.

I'm wondering how many of you fellow transplants came south in the 1980's when the steel belt economy was busted and the petroleum-based economy was booming. It was definitely economic factors that brought me here in 1984. Someday our descendents will track this migration as an historic event.
