Hey Silly Walk,

Here are some links that may help you. Typically, you need to have a person, and work backward from them. If you can see where the were born, then follow them forward to where the deceased. Somewhere in the middle is the passage (assuming you are looking for the person that migrated). Also, try GENFORUM for the surname, because there may be people that already have the answers! See the last site below, 802 messages that can be searched, and you can post your question there also.
