5 Tips to Break Down Your Brick Wall

Originally posted at Lost Tree Project as a guest post February 2019. Eventually we all hit a brick wall. My first brick wall was with Joseph Thomas {my husband's 3rd great grandfather} I spent months searching. Brick walls can last weeks to months to years. Below are some quick tips to help you break through that brick wall. Research another ancestor for a while and then go back to your brick wall . You will see your brick wall ancestor with new eyes. Use a checklist to see if you missed any records. {You can find my Evernote Research Checklist in my shared genealogy notebook.} Revisit your research. Maybe you missed a piece of information in a document. Maybe something seemed like it wasn't important but now that you have more information you find it is important. Learn something new. It does not need to be genealogy related. When you shift your thinking to something else and then go back to the brick

US Marine Casualty Cards

Earlier this week I got my copy of Family Tree Magazine and I was reading an article that led me to World War II History Network and from there I found a link to an article about the United States Marine Corp making their casualty cards searchable. You can find the database at Casualty Cards Database. Fred Thomas, my husbands great uncle, was in WWII and in the Marines. I searched the database and found : On the first page it states : While the cards for World War II through Korea are not classified, however, they can often be very graphic. Therefore, to maintain the dignity and honor of the Marines, the individual cards will only be released, upon request, on a case by case basis. To request a card, please send an email to history.division@usmc.mil or a request in writting to: United States Marine Corps History Division Attn: Reference Branch 3078 Upshur Avenue Quantico, Virginia 22134 . I immediately sent an email {about 12:30 am because

Using Evernote for my planner

In my last post , I mentioned how I am using Evernote as my planner; a few of you have had some questions so here I am. I started using Evernote the week of December 23rd. I was looking for a new planner for 2017 and I was not liking anything that I was finding. I keep lists of all sorts of things in Evernote so it only made sense to try and find a way to use Evernote for my planner. I did a little bit of research and found these templates for 2017. With a little adjusting, I was able to make the weekly template work for me. I first created a folder called Day Planner {I put the folder in my Inbox stack because I spend the most time here}. !Inbox -- default notebook. Anything coming into Evernote goes here to be sorted and dealt with {It is piling up today}. Ideally, this is emptied every day but for me, it is more like a few times a week. !TO DO -- This is the notebook that holds some of those lists. My genealogy to do list, my blog to do list and my brainstorming lis
