Eventually your genealogy research will cross a border–a geographical one, a political one, or a chronological one. When it does, ask yourself: How is research different here than where I searched before? What different sources are there in this location/period? Are there any ways the research methods are different? Are there cultural differences I need to be aware of? Is there any other way that the research is “different?” Not realizing that research in a new location or time period could be different may lead to additional research roadblocks.
