When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring  in addition to the  in which they lived:  their home  contained property and probate records; the  to the west contained birth and death records; the  to the north contained their burial records.  If we hadn't checked the neighboring , we would have missed many valuable sources of information.
