- A stranger [to Kansas], if he listened to the
voice of experience, would not start upon his pilgrimage at any season
of the year without an overcoat, a fan, a lightning rod, and an umbrella.
John James Ingalls "In Praise of Blue Grass" (1875)

Now you can help!
- We'll try to provide a link to those counties and alert you to any
archived info that may be available for downloading via the KSGenWeb
Archives ! Be sure to register your surnames in each county that your
family resided.
You can help, by uploading your census information, wills and other
public domain documents to the USGenWeb county of your interest. Nothing
copyrighted, unless you have written permission from the author.

Where were your Barton County families from, where did they go???
Links with common migratory routes!
- WHAT TO TAKE: Let your trunk, if
you have to buy one, be of moderate size and of the strongest make. Test
it by throwing it from the top of a three-storied house; if you pick it
up uninjured, it will do to go to Kansas. Not otherwise.

Santa Fe Trail Family History Project In celebration of the 175th Anniversary, information is being collected on families related to the Santa Fe Trail, 1821-1880. Your knowledge of people, places, and events is needed. Who were the freighters, stage coach drivers, and soldiers? What do you know about the Jicarilla Apaches, Mouache Utes, Kiowas, and Comanches? Do you have any family stories about ciboleros, comancheros, traders, or trappers? Who operated the mills, forage stations, and blacksmith shops? What do you know about the Texas Rangers, penitentes, or Gorras Blancas? Were your ancestors cattle drovers, sheep herders, or stone masons? Did they run a store, boarding house, or stage station? When did your family come to the area? Where did they come from and where did they settle? What adventures did they have? Do you have old maps, photographs, drawings, diaries, or other records? Descendants will be recognized during the two year Celebration, 1996-1997. Copies of your family history will be filed in the Santa Fe Trail Archives at the Las Vegas Carnegie Public Library, and the Special Collections Branch, Albuquerque Public Library, Edith and Central, courtesy of the New Mexico Genealogical Society. Please send copies of your family materials to the Santa Fe Trail Family History Project, in care of Nancy Robertson, PO Box 1516, Raton, NM 87740. No special forms are necessary.
