Often there were good reasons for your ancestor's records to be in another nearby jurisdiction--and sometimes even afar. These might be: | |||
*The ancestor worked in an occupation requiring travel such as the military, the railroad, migrant farm work, etc. | |||
*Your research has moved into a period of time before the jurisdiction you have been following existed (e.g., before the creation of your county or parish). | |||
*Movement was precipitated by war, disease, catastrophe, religious persecution, or ethnic cleansing. You may get important clues by studying local history, particularly in areas and times not covered by periodic census taking. | |||
