Was watching Hatfield's and McCoys and it got me thinking, when it comes to genealogy make sure you cross the border every once in awhile. In the movie, the McCoy's and Hatfield's kept going across the state border. It was just a river.
I think in genealogy we become so obsessed with where our ancestor was living that we forget that they may have crossed the border for shopping, working, etc. If your ancestor lived near a border be sure to "cross the border" to see if they did something in a another County, State or Country. You may find that there may be more records at another location that may help you find what you are looking for.
