Americana Journeys - Where History and Ancestry Join
This
is an exploration of history, ancestry and the American experience, not
through
books
and family trees, but through stories and travels to places and peoples
of the Americana experience. Follow genealogical lines of extended families with unique pioneer stories from the
coal mines of Wales
and the devastations of European religious wars in Holland, and Germany
and sailing ports of England to the prairie planes on the banks of
the Illinois River, the Mormon Trail and Indian Nations. Here will
be found genealogy and ancestry connections and stories as well as
places to visit and see and do, because Americana is not to be found
in history books, but on the living stage, sometimes buried under the
urban landscape of later generations or in the lonely corner of an
overgrown graveyard.
Along the path of the settlement of the North American continent will be found historic railways, museums, old highways and byways and we migrated westward, through modes of transportation from canals and wagon trains to “Tin Lizzie” Model A Fords. This site is a tribute the emigrants who sought the Ameircana dream and an exploration and discovery of the history and experiences they left behind for us to enjoy.
