Have you reached a brick wall (also known as a "dead end") in your research? Maybe you're trying to find an elusive maiden name or having difficulty locating a specific record. Perhaps you can't find where your ancestor lived or you need help with another problem. The Brick Wall Solutions Special Interest Group is here to help!
 
Nancy Oster Heydt, Beverly Hulett and Mark Mullinax are the coordinators of this group. We meet the fourth Wednesday of the month from 8:30am to 9:30am at the Savannah Recreation CenterSeptember through May (except December and February). If you have a question about this SIG, send an email to us and we will respond as quickly as possible.
 
We discuss each member's brick wall, and suggest research methods for a solution. Each member is encouraged to download and complete the "Worksheet & Research Techniques" (link is below) so that we can analyze the problem thoroughly and approach solutions from different perspectives. We also discuss research techniques and standards of proof. We have had many successes with solving brick walls, but there are always those walls that just will not collapse; often because we are misdirected to look in the wrong place.
 
There is always room for new attendess as this is a roll-over group. However, you must be a member of The Villages Genealogical Society to participate in our meetings. If you are not a member but would like to be, visit the VGSFL Membership page on our website for information and to join online.
