Another in the series on sessions I attended at the NGS 2014 Family History Conference.
F322 (R) Carolinians Settle The South, Jim Ison, AG, CG,
Syllabus page 345
So many
Carolinians did NOT remain in what often was their state of birth or a first
stopover point upon emigration from elsewhere.
One has only to look at the 1850 census to get a sense of the scale of
out-migration from North and South
Carolina
To get a
flavor for North Carolina
Out–Migration in the 1800s and 1900s By Donald R. Lennon and Fred D.
Ragan (From Tar Heel Junior Historian 34 (spring 1995))
Jim
emphasized the importance of understanding migration routes. If you know/believe that your family traveled
from location A to location B at a certain time, what were the options for
travel? There may have only been one
major route or several. Many families
spent a generation or more “traveling” as they settled in one spot and then
subsequently moved to another. They
possibly did this several times. One of
my favorite sites for migration routes (and maps) is Early American Roads and Trails by Beverly
Whitaker, MA.
Understanding the dynamics of why and how people migrated can only help
you as you to try to identify “where” in the Carolinas
your ancestors were born!
The
associated syllabus pages provide a detailed overview of out-migration from the
Carolinas and in-migration to the deeper
south.
