Migrations Project

The Migrations Project goal is to compile a database that will help researchers trace their ancestors moves around the world. Since the Morgan County Migration Project (in its original form) didn't support that goal the collection of data at the county level has been discontinued. Please submit your ancestor's migration data to the Migrations Project database.
