Genealogy brick wall buster

When it comes to family trees, sometimes things are straight forward. However, many times families often disappear between one census and the next; records are lost or destroyed through mishandling, fire, war and flood; and sometimes the facts you find just don't make sense. When your family history research hits a dead end, fresh eyes can often see beyond brick walls.
On Thurs., Feb. 3, the Village Genealogical Society meeting will be an opportunity for members to present information about their brick wall. This meeting is all about everyone. We will discuss tactics to approaching a brick-wall plus problem solving for members of VGS. To have a personal genealogical brick wall (US Research only, please) considered to be included as part of this meeting, please email a short summary of your problem to Jeanette Frahm, at Nette4465@gmail.com
VGS meets the first Thursday of each month (except July & August) at 2 p.m. at the Coronado Center. Anyone interested in family research is welcome to attend. Also please come to an informal breakfast session a Debra’s restaurant the 3rd Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. For details call Judy Robbins at 922-0734 or Jeanette Frahm at 922-9220.
