From The Top

Submitted by: GFL George

 

This month we tackle the tough question of what to do when you hit that brick wall. It is inevitable that as you go back in time you will run into a person that just seems to have appeared on this earth and you cannot seem to find anything about him no matter where you look. Sometimes it is because they came from a different country where documents have been burned or destroyed or they could be farmers from this country that left little or no trace in public documentation. There are times when you swear that your ancestors must have come down in a silver disk because there seems to be no other explanation for the total lack of data.

This month we will try to give you some plans you can use to solve your problems. I invite you to try these tactics and also invite you to come to our chats where our trained hosts can help you. Stop into our resource center and see if you can find answers there. There are many solutions to finding lost ancestors. We have many of those answers right here for you so stop on by.
