Fabulous case study. Great work by Megan Smolenyak shows how sticking with it, following all leads, is the key to breaking down those brick walls.

The Deadly Trail that Finally Revealed a Phantom Branch of My Family Tree

OK, now I can indeed get in and post. Whatever blocked me before seems to not be a problem now. I will try to make sure to post to this page several times a week to make it stay "fresh". I have completed the second to the last bookcase in my home/office in preparation to finally be able to share the Eastern Dutchess Genealogical Library with others. One more bookcase to build after this one!!! The books are not properly catalogued or arranged. I am hoping to get an intern to help with that! Watch your mailbox for an issue of the Quarterly coming soon. Watch this page for registration info for an ongoing Genealogy Basics class via Zoom.
