There were several major migration trails across the [[Portal:United States of America|United States]], and many shorter state or regional paths of migration. Some of the better-known trails our ancestors may have followed are:
*[https://piedmonttrails.com/ Piedmont Trails] Documentation including maps, land deeds, road orders, surveys, and video presentations about the colonial roads and migration routes dating from the 17th-century to the mid 19th-century.
*[http://www.cyndislist.com/migration/ Cyndi's List - Migration Routes, Roads and Trails] links to Internet genealogical resources about traces, trails, roads and related mailing lists, geography, settlers, and societies.
