A view of where my ancestors lived as they treked across the United States to where I was born vividly shows the expansion of our country from the view of one family and is duplicated by many families in our country. The trek from Newark, New Jersey to San Francisco, California spanned 265 years and nine generations and included many stops inbetween. As I have studied the path of my ancestors it has been a facinating study and I hope you will enjoy it also. The family started in Newark, New Jersey and my branch moved as shown in the following timeline.
