Darn Those Brick Walls

"Darn Those Brick Walls" was the topic of GSMC's March program today. Darlene Anderson gave a short presentation, discussing reasons why we have brick walls and techniques to solve or maneuver around them. After the discussion, Darlene and Ron Darrah answered questions asked by the attendees about their brick wall quandaries. We closed the discussion at 2:10 and two of our attendees talked with each other until 2:35. One lady was from Denmark, yes the country; and the other lady had ancestors who were from Denmark.

Who attended the program? Ron, Darlene, Jene, Janet, Barb, Gail, Jill, Karen, Kristen, Larry, Paula, Rebecca, Richard and Ruth. One of the attendees said this about the program, "Thank you for a great discussion! I got a lot of great ideas to try with my brick walls!"

GSMC thanks all of you that attended the program and hope we see you again soon! 

"Advanced Military Research For Genealogists," by Ron Darrah will be the topic of GSMC's presentation April 3, 2021, 1pm to 3pm on Zoom. More details about this program will follow concerning registration. In the meantime, the program:

Once a genealogist checks the Federal military and pension files, where do they go after that? This fast-paced workshop for the Intermediate and Advanced researcher will focus on research tactics that go off the beaten path. Attendees will discover specialized record groups in specialized locations that cover American military activities from the Revolution to the modern day. Questions are encouraged, so bring your family problems waiting to be solved.
