Move Beyond U.S. Census Records to Overcome Obstacles and Brick Walls

Using a case study, Bill Cole takes participants through alternative record sources and creative approaches to overcome obstacles and brick walls created by pesky ancestors who frustrate researchers! This presentation IS NOT theoretical.  It does NOT include traditional the usual alternatives of Birth, Marriage, Death records, State Censuses, or Land Records.

IT IS practical and “hands on.” Participants learn 20 useful tips and techniques plus 7 lessons learned over forty plus years of applied genealogical research. They will vicariously experience thrills associated with overcoming obstacles and busting through brick walls!
