Brick Walls in Family Research

 

I have lots of brick walls.  One I have already talked about - that is the Reisner family back in Week 5 under Challenges.

I have broken through the wall on my Ahrendt family.  However, I still have a lot more work to be done by locating church records in Mecklenburg.

I also need to work on the Haueisen family that was from Bavaria.  Here again, it will need to be church records.  Like the Reisner family, this is difficult to do as they have not been digitized.

Other paternal families that will require further research as time allows include the ancestors of Mary Jane Secor(e) and Bertha Davis.

My maternal side goes back a long way.  What I need to do first is validate the information I have before working on any brick walls.

Then I need to tackle my husband’s families.

Surnames A-Z: D Names

This idea of listing surnames over the coming weeks comes from The Olive Tree Genealogy Blog.  I think this will be fun.

Some of my surnames I have already posted information on . . . others I'm still working on.

Continuing the blog list of surnames for both mine and my husband's family that I'm doing genealogical research.  Maybe we connect, maybe not.

So . . . here are the D's:
