Hi Joseph,

I've found it's important to look at maps. Lots of times our ancestors did things across county lines, and sometimes across state lines - and counties have often changed or been absorbed by others, or changed states.

I have plenty of folks from Loudoun VA, who are in records from Fauquier or Fairfax. Others from Mecklenburg VA associated with Mecklenburg NC.

Always check neighboring counties for records!
