Welcome to our Pioneer Ancestor Center
Ever wonder whether YOUR ancestors followed their dream to the frontier? Whether they were one of those who struggled through hunger, hardships, and disasters? Whether they settled in the Midwest or ventured further to the West Coast?
We had these same questions and found our family history put together by my family before I was born fastinating. They tracked our family back to the Mayflower ship and the first settlers. Reading about how the Powers family came from that original family first in New York and later northern Indiana brought history to life for me. That's the purpose of this section of the frontier site - to help you find answers to your family tree.
