Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Hit the same genealogy brick wall again and again? Stop repeating searches. Start solving the case.When an ancestor disappears, records conflict, names change or the obvious searches lead nowhere, simply searching harder is often not enough.Break Through Your Genealogy Brick Wall gives family historians a structured system for turning a stubborn research problem into a manageable investigation.Using the 12-stage Brick Wall Case Cycle, you will learn how to define the exact question, separate evidence from assumptions, trace where information came from, build a useful timeline, preserve contradictions, explore name variations, reconstruct historical jurisdictions, research relatives and associates, create competing hypotheses and test them against the evidence.Inside you'll also find practical tools for: - identifying weak assumptions in your family tree- analysing conflicting names, dates and locations- finding evidence through siblings, neighbours and witnesses- replacing missing records with alternative evidence- documenting negative searches- distinguishing people with the same name- ranking competing explanations- deciding whether a case is SOLVED, a WORKING CONCLUSION or still OPENFive brick-wall playbooks demonstrate the method in action, while the complete 13-tool Brick Wall Case Pack helps you organise your own research.This is not a beginner's encyclopaedia of genealogy records. It is a practical system for what to do after the easy searches stop working.
