“Brick wall” problems are those genealogical research problems that seem too hard to solve. Wherever we look, we find no answers. ProGenealogists.com has plenty of advice on the subject and how to knock down even the most stubborn of family history brick walls.

In this section, I am going to list some of my brick walls in the hopes that someone with more resources (READ: time, treasure and skills) than me may have either found the answer, or had their interest piqued enough to go digging.

What have been some of your biggest brick walls? Did you knock them down brick-by-brick, or with one fell swoop of a wrecking ball? Would love hear your comments and advice below.
