Default Copy Paired Info to Different number of Rows

I am working on old county migration flow datasets.
The datasets are for in-migration into a specific county.
For example, a typical file includes many in-migration
counties.
C D E F

St. FIPS Name # of returns
30 017 Custer 10
30 111 Yellowstone 6
30 031 Gallatin 2
Same State 8
Diff Region 7
30 017 County Non-Migrants 13
30 019 Daniels 17
30 162 Missula 8
30 033 King 4
30 031 Gallatin 5
Same State 2
Diff Region 9
30 019 County Non-Migrants 16

I want to make a macro that takes the first numbers by the
cell right below a "County Non-Migrants" and copies them
to the next "County Non-Migrants," taking into account
that the number of rows is not constant.
Example of End Result:

A B C D E F
To To From
St. FIPS St. FIPS Name # of returns
30 017 30 017 Custer 10
30 017 30 111 Yellowstone 6
30 017 30 031 Gallatin 2
30 017 Same State 8
30 017 Diff Region 7
30 017 30 017 County Non-Migrants 13
30 019 30 019 Daniels 17
30 019 30 162 Missula 8
30 019 30 033 King 4
30 019 30 031 Gallatin 5
30 019 Same State 2
30 019 Diff Region 9
30 019 30 019 County Non-Migrants 16


The problem I see is that the rows are not constant. How
would you write a complex if statement to take into
account the "county non-migrants" information?

Thanks for your help. (By the way, I have thousands rows
of cells of this type of information for over 10 years
with cells for each county in three states. A lot of work
for a long time if I have to the procedure manually.)
