It is always advised to search every record–even when you don’t think it will tell you anything you “don’t already know.” US census records are not supposed to be more specific than state or country of birth. In some instances they’ve put towns of birth or areas of Europe that are more specific than the country. It never hurts to look–even when you know it all.
