Hi, The proper motions of most stars are too small to matter. More importantly, we do not know what the values are for most stars. That incidentally is likely to change soon as Gaia gets launched later this year and will measure positions of a billion stars much more precisely than ever before over a five year period through multiple observations. http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Gaia_overview
There are lists of what are called High proper Motion (HPM) stars available [see the two stars in the box here, for instance: http://nesssi.cacr.caltech.edu/catalina/20130302/1303021210274114807.html - one of them is/has HPM]. Information is also available about some "streams" within our Galaxy.
