SUMMARY:WMGS February Monthly Meeting: Ancestors on the Move: Migration from Farms to Cities\, 1870-1920
DESCRIPTION:We’re delighted that nationally-known genealogist\, Annette Burke-Lyttle will join us again to present Ancestors on the Move: Migration from Farms to Cities\, 1870–1920. \nBetween the Civil War and World War I\, Americans faced dramatic changes that shaped where and how they lived. Push and pull factors\, financial panics\, the reality of daily life\nin rural areas\, and the rise of manufacturing were some of the factors that led to decisions to move from farms to cities. \nAnnette will guide us through the records that capture thosemovements — from census schedules and land deeds to city directories\, newspapers\, military files\, and other sources. We’ll learn what factors influenced our ancestors’ choices and discover practical strategies to locate the documents that bring their journeys to life.
