Vermont to Indiana and Beyond, ver. 2

Linn County, Iowa
Coming across "new" old information during the filing process and found this to be an interesting description of Rev. Erastus Lathrop's family's migration from Vermont to Indiana.  A journey that Russell's family took in 1837 to Decatur County.

Filing 20+ Years of Genealogy

This is what I've been doing since late December and why I haven't been blogging.  I've been sorting, doing data entry and filing about 20 years worth of files.  Over 2 cubic feet of records on all y'all and our ancestors.   Genealogist or stalker? You decide.
