Before I started my search I had no idea how much people moved in the 1800s. As the first colonies got crowded people moved west. If they were poor, they headed towards the frontier to find land to farm.
I looked through tons of old newspapers, death notices and other documents on microfilm.
I would encourage anyone who is older to write down as much as they can remember. They may think that no one cares, but their children and grandchildren will when they grow up. I have so many regrets about not really listening and asking questions when my grandparents and parents were alive, and I've heard so many others say the same thing.
Using that one slip of paper, and knowing my great grandmother's and great grandfather's names, I was able to go to the National Archives and trace the family through the census.
