"Getting around the Brick-wall" by James Jackson

We all reach the end of the trail on some of our branches.  As Winston Churchill said, "Never, never, never give up!"  By trying variant spellings, little used sources, and having just a little luck, you may break through the wall.  How about really analyzing the sources you have already?  There may be hidden clues there.  Don't forget boundary changes through the years - are you really looking at the right place?  And don't overlook finding aids and resources that are available free on the internet.
