Anne Mitchell--"Ancestry Anne"--discusses that in her classes, particularly on southern research, and recommends going even farther away from the target family! <br /><br />This especially applies in agrarian communities, where land ownership influenced where family members might have settled in the next generation. I am particularly keen on finding land records from that time period, just to see the roots of such a possibility...except that I have little hope that any such records would still be available.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-43642811960168718512019-12-11T17:33:14.014-08:002019-12-11T17:33:14.014-08:00Remember to look at the "nearby" househo...Remember to look at the "nearby" households that don't include the Booth surname. Years ago when I was researching 3x great grandparents William and Matilda (Lewis) Mason, I took a highlighter and marked all the nearby households (about 10 to fifteen on each side of them) on the 1850 census that had a young girl named Matilda or a wife near Matilda's age who was born in Alabama. It took a lot of work, but many years later I found that they were married sisters of my Matilda. So, surround your Boothe household are probably married sisters. You just don't know it yet.kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.com
