Understanding Ancestral Migrations

Using Settlers' Guides

Presented by Annette Burke Lyttle

Settlers’ guides were written to persuade and assist our ancestors who moved to new places, and they’re packed with details about work, costs, land, and daily life.

Learn where to find these guidebooks and how to use them to reconstruct what our ancestors likely faced when they migrated.
