I thought this would be interesting thread for you guys to explain the lead up to where you guys were born.

Yeah mine is real interesting when broken down by state.

You can see interesting patterns when you go back farther in time, and look at it from a county-level perspective instead of a state perspective. I would say that about 1/3 of the ancestors I've found resided in the county where I grew up, or in an adjacent county. You'd commonly have a brother or a sister split off and head for Texas, Oklahoma, Kentucky, or Alabama - but my particular line stayed put.

One of these days I am going to map out my family's migrations around South Carolina. When I go far back, the amount of people involved grow exponentially, you lose track of a certain line, and it becomes unmanagable; however, from the small sample size I have, southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina show up as notable birth/death locations.

Mother- South Carolina
M Grandmother - South Carolina
M GGrandmother - South Carolina
M GGrandfather - South Carolina

M Grandfather - South Carolina
M GGrandmother - South Carolina

Your line looks like my wife's...we joke that her family settled this county in 1810, and that she's the only one who's ever left! (We did come back...)
