While we don't have information that is specific to any given person or family, we intend to expand our understanding about where and how people lived. Name Variations for Mart Law Seminole Village ...When searching records, keep in mind that names and their spelling can change over time. Our sources include documents like maps, railroad schedules, Travel, Express and Shipping Guides. Many of these documents date from the 1800's and it's common to find spelling differences. For example, a typical abbreviation for Mart Law Seminole Village: Mart Law Seminole Vlg. (in Canada, 'Vlge.' is the more common abbreviation.) If you have information about these names (such as the reason for the change, date of change, the origin of the name), please Contact Us. Neighboring Counties ...When searching for family records, we have frequently made the mistake of not checking the neighboring counties. For example, we have great-grandparents who lived in the southwest corner of their home county. During their lives, most hospitals and doctors were in the next county to the west. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the south. So when searching for records, we had our best success by looking in neighboring counties instead of the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the west contained birth and death records; the county to the south contained their burial records. If we hadn't included the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information. If you're in a similar situation, we hope that the following information helps.
