We all have an elusive ancestor that we haven't been able to find anything about - we've posted and searched and searched some more and still they elude us. Many of us finally push them to the side and focus on other branches of our trees, but we always hope that something will turn up on the one (or more) people we just can't find.

Please use this thread to post information on your BRICK WALL ANCESTOR.

This is NOT a place to post for folks you have just started researching. Newcomers to researching can continue posting to regular threads.

Give us the details that you know already - where you've looked, what records or clues you have and hopefully someone here can offer a hint or suggestion on how to go further. New sets of eyes on the problem can also be of assistance.

Please put the SURNAME, State, County if you know it and date or time period in the Subject line.

For example:
WILLIAMS, Loudoun VA, 1870-1900

Then describe your research to date, methods - and any clues you have in the body of the post.

Hope you get lucky!!!
