Possibilities

             I like the idea of writing about possible answers to a genealogy problem.  As mentioned in the past, I have several brick walls on my paternal line.

Week 4 about a Theory in Progress covers my Reisner brick wall.  I need to locate church records in Wisconsin as well as in Iowa.  Maybe they will open a window or door.  I could also hire somebody to look up information in Germany.

Week 7 about What the Census Suggests is not so much about a brick wall but does remind me of items I need to look at for an immigrant ancestor on my maternal line.   Some of the items listed there are also possibilities for my Reisner family above.

Haueisen brick wall – will have to research in Bavaria.  Same issue as I have with the Reisner family, no church records are available online.

Other surnames include Sparr, Secor, Tuttle, Davis, McKinney, and Morgan.  I’ll need to locate church, census, newspapers, land, and vital records.  I just need to work on one problem at a time and write up what I want to accomplish.
