Program
"Breaking Down Brick Walls "
Build a Brick Wall? Genealogists already have plenty of them! You’ve researched your ancestors, have found another generation and then—no progress. Genealogists get stuck. Brick walls may last for years or a life time, but more knowledge and more skills may knock that brick wall down. Learn about the causes of Genealogical Brick Walls and the potential solutions to scaling them. The causes of Brick Walls are many and the solutions may be many also. Bring your Brick Walls. You’ve overcome them in the past—you can do it again!
Class
Beginning at 3:15 pm.
