HCGS Meeting Sept 9, 2017 Brick Walls - How to team them down

HCGS Meeting Sept 9, 2017      9am     1465 Aʻala St., Honolulu (basement level)
   
Brick Walls - How to tear them down.  
     We watched a video by Crista Cowan of Ancestry.com discussing "Breaking Through Your Brick Walls - A Case Study"  Some tips were to create a timeline of the individual and include important dates in history so you can better understand what was going on during their lives (such as a big earthquake in Kentucky may have inspired some to migrate to another area).  Don't just stop at researching the individual, try to get information on all the siblings and their families.  Explore a Family History Wiki at the Learning Center at Ancestry.com, and don't forget to use the "Card Catalogue" at Ancestry.com to search individual databases.
     It was suggested that you should interview your relations.  One question to ask is what their Christmas Memories were.
