    Bring Your Brick Wall

    Host: Susan Ingersoll

    Members: Join us at our monthly round table! Each month, we choose a theme to spark the conversation, then gather on Zoom to have a great time sharing our ancestors' stories.

    Are you stumped with a specific research question? 
    • Is there a BMD record you just can't locate?
    • Are you trying to find your ancestor in the news, but don't know where to look? 
    • Are you unsure where to find an immigration record?
    • Looking for church records?

    Bring your brick wall and let your fellow members brainstorm new research paths for you to explore!
