Dear Researchers: The Wall At the Giekau Family Heritage Fair being held Aug. 5th in Emerson, Nebraska we have one rather large wall of the gym to fill up or cover with something. Since it is a “Wall” I thought that we could call it “The Wall” and have as many people as we can send in their “Brick Wall” that they have hit on their genealogy lines. This event is focused on the Giekau area so your best luck may come from that area but this wall will have no limits. We will take families from anywhere: Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Norway, you name it and we will post it. What I would like to see is a nice looking sheet of regular size 8 ½ X 11 paper with your “Brick wall” story and the person's information that you are researching. If you have room on the page maybe a little story about what you have done so far to get over your “brick wall”. That information by itself could be very educational. If you wish to decorate your story with a border or something like that to make it stand out that is fine. Please be sure that you have either an e-mail or snail mail address on the sheet that you send. If you would title your sheet something like. My Hammer Brick Wall, something where you have the surname on the top title. Then the names, where, dates and your story. One family per sheet and you can send as many as you want. It is a large wall and we have a whole hallway that could be used also. Please remember, what may be a big wall for one person may have been nothing but a low hung fence for another. We are all in this to help one another, so lets see if we can fill that wall. You can E-mail your “wall” stories to me at _Huffner5@aol.com_ (mailto:Huffner5@aol.com) Or mail them to Gary Schoening 204 Harolds Drive Glenwood, Iowa 51534 For more information about the Heritage Fair see: _www.giekau.com_ (http://www.giekau.com) and click on the Misc. button on the upper right.
