Just watched a special on TV about German migration to Missouri. coming over on ships, travel up the Mississippi River & then up the Missouri River. I'm thinking I've been to all those towns. They brought grape vines & started vineyards etc. They had problems with floods way back then too.

Hey Theron, what was the name of the program you watched? My great-grandfather was one of those that came over and settled along the Missouri near Boonville. I would love to see that program. Thx.

It was on a PBS station here in Akron. Didn't get any other info. Just started watching it. Sorry!

Thanks for the lead... could it have been "Destination America"?

That seems to ring a bell in the old brain! :)
