On Wednesday, April 7th, we’ll be welcoming nationally-known genealogist Peggy Clemens Lauritzen for a presentation titled “Migration Trails Across America.”America has been a nation on the move since the first landings in the colonies. From
buffalo traces and Native American trails to rivers and canals, America has found a way
to keep pushing “west.” This presentation focuses on the most common means of travel
in the New World. Migration trails and patterns will be discussed, as well as the many
rivers and canals that interconnected us as a nation. Peggy’s presentation will feature a
case study of a “lost ancestor” from Essex County, Massachusetts
