Tracing the migration of an ancestor or family is one of the most important pieces of record keeping while researching genealogy.\u00a0 For the use of genealogy research, knowing where members of the family tree were residing at different periods provides the link to finding more data.<\/p>\n
As we go further back into history, fewer families owned their homes and many families moved frequently into different states, cities and neighborhoods.\u00a0\u00a0 Each move to a new location usually meant a change in churches attended, hospitals used, as well as job and occupation changes.<\/p>\n
If you’re researching a family with a common name, and more complicated yet – with members of the family having common first names, having the known addresses of these families can be crucial.\u00a0 These problems arise in genealogy research frequently.\u00a0 Sometimes the only definitive proof that a family we’re looking at is the same family as a previous or later family from a city directory or a census or another source is their common address.<\/p>\n
