Researching the 1851 Oregon Trail Migration

________________________________________________________________

I have several ancestors who lived in Missouri in 1850, can't find in 1860,
then most of them show up in Yamhill County Oregon in 1870.

My question is, would they have travelled by train or by wagon train?  There
were multiple families that came together.  Also, why am I having a hard
time finding them in 1860?  If they were waiting for or in a wagon train,
would they have been missed by the census taker?  I have one ancestor who
lost a wife in Missouri approx 1862 and remarried by 1863.  I can't find
death certificate of 1st wife.

Surnames are Lambert and Forrest.
