Subject: [HWE] Brick Walls, Anyone??
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 13:45:58 -0800


Fellow listers --

In her post to the list on 10 March, Sylvia mentioned a brick wall she's
encountered in connection with one of her lines.
This prompted me to send the following invitation to you all.......which
is --

Does anyone else have brick walls to post on the list? If you're not
familiar with the term "brick wall", it means a point at which your research
is "stuck". That is, you don't know where to look next for those clues which
are preventing you from getting back farther on a particular line.
If you're in this situation, posting to the list about your brick wall
may help you. Another lister may be able to suggest something you haven't
tried or a source where you haven't looked. If you're really lucky, someone
has that vital clue you're looking for.
I hope ***many*** of you will accept this invitation. We currently have
about 345 subscribers on HWE -- the numbers are climbing steadily all the
time -- but I don't feel that the number of posts reflects that, do you?

This is a wonderful opportunity to get your information out there to the
rest of us. I hope you will accept it.

Just a couple of points to mention, in closing:
1) delete all of this message if it is attached in your own replies
2) personalize your subject line (include a name, a date, a location)
instead of just using the one on this message
3) **all** surnames in capitals, please.
Thanks, everyone. Looking forward to your posts. Andrea
