Webinar: Don’t Build Your Own Brick Wall
Speaker: Jill Morelli, CG, CGL
When: November 3rd, 2023 at 7:00pm Eastern
Program Description:
Everyone has them—“brick walls”—those intractable genealogical problems that, in spite of what we do, do not get solved. I discovered that often times I was the “mason” building that brick wall! In this presentation we will cover some of the top “assumptions” we use, which impede our ability to solve our self-defined “brick walls.” More importantly each assumption will also come with a strategy for solution. Hard hat ready? Let’s do some demolition!
Certainly there are some real brick walls, which may never be solved. But with new tools and record sets, we have a greater opportunity than ever to break through that wall. There are three themes that will be covered: Learn how we create our own brick walls; identify 10+ ways we create our own and identify a strategy for each to how to test whether it really is a brick wall or is just one of our own making.
