I've run into a few of those walls myself and 90% of them involve immigrants from England w/no records of parentage. I used to have the Ancestry.com World subscription and was able to break down a few walls, but honestly, not many. I'd also take the other family tree info on Ancestry.com w/a grain of salt. A lot of it is incorrect. I quit searching tree branch information when there is absolutely nothing to back it up and don't accept other tree information as gospel w/o backup because of the many errors I've encountered. No doubt you know about the Google geneological search 'trick': When searching for genealogical information always type searches in the following style per the example below: John Smith b. 1562. If you type the b. (or d.) w/the year you will screen out the extraneous stuff and get 98% genealogical data. I've gotten a lot of information from Google searches that were not on Ancestry.com (e.g, books and other publications).
