ARE YOUR ANCESTORS ELUDING YOU?
Chances are, you have run into a snag or a 'brick wall' somewhere along the line -- most families do! Ancestors can be difficult to find in many situations:
-common surnames (Lee, Brown, Smith, etc.) -records lost in fires/floods/wars -language barriers -minimal written records , e.g., Native & African oral history -name variations/changes
All of these things can leave your trail cold & perpetuate the game of hide & seek that you play with your ancestors. |
