What is a Brick Wall?
Merriam-Webster defines a brick wall as “an immovable block or obstruction.” In genealogy a brick wall is “a forced stopping point in your genealogical research.” You have exhausted all your normal avenues of research. What can you do next? Where do you go from here?
During this WVGS Education Forum - a webinar will be shown explaining the analytical process of brick wall hurdling. Then participants can discuss their particular brick walls. Hopefully together answers can be found.
Please register under “Upcoming WVGS Events.” Provide us with some details regarding you brick walls.
See you there!
