New member introducing myself

Question

I am a new member introducing myself.  I am rather new to electronic genealogy searching.  I did a lot of research years ago when you needed to visit relatives, libraries, courthouses, etc.  I have a few dead ends in my ancestry, I am researching at this time.  One is Sophia Burke born in 1835 in Bavaria and died in 1870 in Pine River, Michigan.  Another is Henry Christian Everding born possibly 23 October 1788 in Augusta, Virginia and died 16 April 1886 in Easton,Preble, Ohio.

Answer 1

Hi Paula,

I recommend you ask for Brick Wall help outside of this introduction. You will get a wider audience for a brick wall question if it is on it's own post versus being part of an introduction post that many might just scroll by.

Make sure you place it in the Genealogy Help category and select location tags (i.e. Bavaria, Virginia, Ohio) along with brick_wall. WikiTree has volunteers all over the world that love to help with brick walls.

Welcome aboard, Paula!

Looks like you have made a good start on your family branches. Once you have added these ancestors, come back here to the forum and post links or ID numbers so other members can help. Could this be one of the people you mentioned:

Good luck with your research and enjoy your journey into the past!
