At some point, everyone working on their family tree will encounter a brick wall, or what they think is a brick wall, that frustrating point where their research seems to hit a dead end. These barriers can take various forms, but they all hinder progress in tracing family history. A genealogy brick wall can be frustrating and discouraging, but it does not mean that the research is impossible. Follow me and see how you can break through them to continue building up your family tree!
