I was just trying to figure out something this morning. My Great Grandparents moved from the central US to Oregon in 1905. They already owned a farm (thank you President Lincoln and the Homestead Act) but they picked up their 9 kids and moved. A couple of years later they moved back.

That was a lot of work.

I have reached out to cousins to see if they know why but so far nothin'.
