Need Historical Perspective?
No history books for the location in which you
are researching? Are there daily or weekly
newspapers? Try reading a week or a month of
newspapers for the time period of your brick
wall genealogy problem. You should get ideas
of what might have been impacting your
ancestor's life during the time period. The
newspaper probably won't mention your
ancestor, but the perspective you get will be
invaluable.
