Hi, Sometimes it seems like you are never going to get a lead on one of your brick walls.I have been stuck on one person and it is starting to feel like forever.I have checked census ship lists,land records and it seems like they just appear out of nowhere.It seems like I spend more time doing look ups for others then on my own research.I believe it pays off in the end.Just tonight I was surfing the web bored and came across the Ellis Island Wall of Honor page.Just for the heck of it I typed in my brick wall surname and it came up.Along with place of orgin.Just one,but enough to give me some idea where to look next.So you never know where you are going to find information.It could come from some other person that has been helped in the past,a over looked record and like me by just killing time.So don't give up.it's a great feeling when you get a lead on a deadend.Gives you new hope to go on and find more.
