QOTW: Which Of Your Ancestors Migrated The Farthest?

 There's another Question of The Week posted on the Wikitree forum.

This week's question is "Which Of Your Ancestors Migrated The Farthest?"

That one was a little tough to answer. My father's ancestors came from Germany to Illinois, a distance of about 4500 miles, "as the crow flies". My mother's paternal ancestors came from Italy to St. Louis, Missouri, a distance of about 4900 miles. But her maternal ancestors came a bit farther than any of them, from Aradać in current day Serbia to Peoria, Illinois, a distance of almost 5100 miles.
