Nearest Communities to Sleepy Creek, By-County ...The purpose of this page is to identify those communities that are closest to Sleepy Creek, on a County-by-County basis. To explain further, let's use the example from the Genealogy Helper Page for Sleepy Creek: We have great-grandparents who lived in a small community in the northeast corner of their home county. During their lives, most hospitals were in the next county to the east. Almost all of the nearby churches and cemeteries were in the county to the north. When doing our research, we make it a practice to expand our search by looking in neighboring counties in addition to the county in which they lived: their home county contained property and probate records; the county to the east contained birth and death records; the county to the north contained their burial records. If we hadn't checked the neighboring counties, we would have missed many valuable sources of information. Please note that when we give a distance, it's a 'straight-line' distance and not the distance if you drove it.<1> If you're researching your genealogy, we hope that the following following information helps. |
