Louise Id go over my notes again as you might of missed something, try posting the details your stuck on, or try a different branch of your tree. Julie

I go and work on a different bit of the ancestral chart - or play with other people's puzzles on here! Eventually something seems to turn up - either a site is updated with new info, or someone here comes up with a new site, or you glance back at your notes and records and make a connection you hadn't noticed before, or some member of the family digs out an old record or memory you didn't know was there to draw on, or...

Dig at another bit of the wall. I was at a dead end with my great grandmother, then I posted a request and someone on here found her first marriage, now waiting for the certificate.
