Research Questions What route did your ancestors follow to their community? Were they the first of your family in that area? Did he move often from one place to another? Why? Why did they settle where they did? Did he migrate alone, with his family, or with a large group of people? What mode of transportation did they use? Was travel difficult? Were there roads to travel on or mere paths? Did the weather affect the family's migration? Did he received a land patent from the government?
