What is your brick wall? (panel discussion)

Presented by Tom Rice, CG and Kathy Lund, sponsored by the Irish Genealogical Society International.

Description:
You have reached a point in your research that you can't seem to get beyond. Is it truly a brick wall or… is it a difficulty that might be overcome with more learning and insight, or possibly professional research? Let’s discuss the differences. How might you move forward, or identify a way to do so? This session will help you to distinguish between a true “dead end” and a temporary intermission to reflect on new strategies and tactics. Examples galore will be provided to illustrate key points.

You can enjoy this presentation at the live event in Minnesota or as part of our virtual audience. The presentation will be followed by a Q&A and discussion until the scheduled end time, when the broadcast and recording will stop. Attendees at the live event can linger for social time after the program, and have the option of ordering a box lunch in advance.
