Ohio Street, Indianapolis. In the lecture, Carol Montrose will describe how to recognize and glean clues to help overcome "brick walls" during genealogical research. As Montrose will explain, researchers often need to reevaluate just one piece of information that can often provide the necessary clue to continue the research and break down the "brick wall." Montrose has presented programs at the Ohio Genealogical Society and National Genealogical Society annual conferences. She teaches continuing education classes in the Columbus, Ohio area, including classes at The Ohio State University. Since 1999 Montrose has published a number of genealogy resource materials and books, including an article that was included in Hank Z Jones book, Psychic Roots. The cost to attend the workshop is $10; $8 IHS members. Seating is limited and the registration deadline is March 8. To register or for more information call (317) 232-1882. A registration brochure can be downloaded at http://www.indianahistory.org/pub_prog/genealogy/gen_programs.html#brick _walls.
