I’ve been searching for my ancestors and relatives for about 10 years now and have had a lot of success as well as running into a number of brick walls.  I’ve found that one thing which is often missed is the importance of having people to bounce your ideas and frustrations off of.  So I thought I’d start a blog where interested people can come to look for suggestions about what to do next.  I’ll try posting a number of things I’ve found that work as well as asking readers of this blog to see if they can help me find ways over under or around my brick walls.  Feel free to post your comments to any post I make.

I’ll try to be fairly lenient with monitoring threads, but that will depend on how my readers respond to gentle suggestions as to civility, language and off-topic-ness.

Welcome one and all!
