If you have been researching your family tree for any length of time, you have hit a proverbial “brick wall.” There is no way to avoid them. The data and documentation just run out. The further back you travel in time, the worse it becomes.
Congratulations, you have decided to trace your family tree! This will be a long and rewarding hobby with lots of twists and turns. I have always compared genealogy to the world’s biggest puzzle. You don’t have all the pieces and you can never quite finish!
