Thankfully, the clock is ticking on February. Soon crocuses will poke their bright heads through snow crusts and bluebirds will chirp. Turkeys will gobble, fish will fin in the shallows and Old Man Winter can take a hike.

Have you ever considered why your ancestors migrated from one place to another? Our ancestors weren’t so different from us, and we know that our own “migrations” have definite causes. Genealogists refer to these reasons as “push” factors and “pull” factors. Getting a better job; moving...
