Hi-Mikel (or possibly Michael?) was born in Illinois and died in San Bernardino CA in 1937.His children were born in Missouri, and most of them are listed as dying in California. Josie-(husbands gr-grandmother) was born in Missouri and died in Idaho. There are still family relation that live in California. Josie was the last child I have a birthdate for, which is Jan 1889.So, they were at least in Missouri as late as her birthdate. The remaining 3 children have no birthplace listed. Thomas is listed as dying in 1882. Many families in those days began new lives in new locations as a group, traveled together or thru word of mouth followed. Perhaps Thomas (considering its the same Thomas) lead the way to CA and others followed?The Thomas I have is the brother of Geo. W. and the Uncle of Mikel.
