Did the Snare family go to Nebraska?

The whole herd move from Illinois to Nebraska!
Mary Ann Snare [b:1832 in Licking County, Ohio] married William Maxwell Reed [b: 1827 in Newark, Licking County, Ohio] over in Licking County, Ohio.  They moved over to Knox County Illinois about 1855 where children, Mahala, Nora, William, Otis, Effie and Hulda where born. 

Then as a family, the Reeds moved to Nebraska about the same time as the Jeffery's, whom they had married into, came from Grant County, Wisconsin.  I was wondering if the Snare's moved to Nebraska along with the other families.  It looks like John Jeffery even took his father-in-law Jacob Hall to settle in Nebraska territory. So there must have been a number of ox drawn wagons going west to Lancaster County, Nebraska a little before 1867.

Daniel and Mary Ann "Polly" Crowell Snare moved with the family from Licking County, Ohio to Knox County, Illinois about 1855.  Daniel and Mary Ann didn't go to Nebraska though.  They both died in Harmon, Knox County, Ill. 
So the next question is, did any of the Snare kids go to Nebraska [besides Mary Ann].


Hummm.  No, Melissa Snare got married to William C. McElrea and they lived out their lives in Harmon, Knox County, Ill.
Sidney Whipple Snare ended up in Grand Junction, Mesa County, Colorado. He married Sarah Ellen Babbitt.
Sarah Ellen Snare married Martin Milam and ended up in San Bernardino, San Bernardino County, California.
So what happened to Laura, Lyman and Reevis?
Did they stay in Ohio?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Time to do some census review and a little looking in the Licking County OH and Lancaster County, Neb archives on

Guess I'd better go find out!

Google Earth and Graveyards

Ok, the last for today, but the best fun I've had with GPS and photographs.
Google Earth is a genealogy researchers best friend!
You can look up those mysterious places you've never seen, maybe even a place where your ancestor lived [I toured Paris, France one day!].

The latest fun I've been having is looking for those cemeteries where I have ancestors buried. Of course we cant see what it was like "then" but we can look at the places now, which is still intriguing to me.

Take the Forest Hill Cemetery in Boston, MA that was just being discussed in my earlier post.
All I do is write the name of the cemetery or town in the "Fly to" Search box. In this case I wrote the name Forest Hills Cemetery in the Business search box.
It came up with an aerial view of the area where the cemetery is located.
From there I can either look for the little photograph icons and see pictures others have taken of landmarks [in this case Sam791 took the photo of the Forest Hills entrance] or I can double click on the aerial view map until I hit ground level, where, if I'm lucky, there are camera icons! This indicates that there have been street level photos taken in sequence of the surrounding area!
I was able to do this for Congress Cemetery in Wayne County, Ohio [the topmost picture].

This all can be printed out and included in my family books. [And I've been spending lots of my extra time looking up these places I've never been to, so I can see where my people once lived!]

Now this won't happen for every place out there. Roosevelt, Oklahoma is one of the graveyards that has no street level pictures because the town is slowly drying up. But you can still tour downtown in places like this. [I looked up Kellerton, Iowa to see where my Great great-great grandparents, Susan T and Fred Brown lived and worked. It was cool!]
