Breaking Down
Genealogical Brick Walls – Brick by Brick

Every genealogist eventually ends up running into the
dreaded brick wall.  The term “brick
wall” refers to a barrier or an apparent dead-end in your research when an
answer to a question cannot be found. 
Sometimes it’s a record that has gone missing in an online
database.  Other times it’s a family
member or an entire family that has gone missing in the records.  Times such as these can be discouraging and
frustrating.  When you think that you
have exhausted all possibilities in your research, it’s time to come up with
new ways to think about your question and then look some more. 

Our speaker this month is Carol R. Witmer, a new member of
the Godfrey Library’s Board of Directors. 
She is a professional genealogist and founding partner of “Come Home to
Connecticut,” a genealogical research and consulting firm.  Carol will talk about how to distinguish a real
brick wall from a minor detour.  She will
also discuss strategies and tools that can help you tackle those tough research
problems, find answers to your questions, and break down your brick walls.  Remember, behind every genealogical brick
wall is an ancestor waiting to escape! 

The Zoom
presentation will take place at 11:30 am (EST). Premium Godfrey Scholar
