Brick Walls
The genealogists term for not being able to find any more information about a person is “Brick Wall.” I’ve hit a number of these over the last several years and for the most part that barrier still stands but once in a while you knock it down or at least punch a hole through it. I posted early on about my grandfather’s uncle, Meyer Levine. At that time I didn’t have much information about him except for the fact that he was an uncle and his wife’s name was Tiba Mirachi. My third cousin, Beny Levin, smashed down that wall when he found that Meyer (Beny’s great grandfather) had two daughters and a son that we weren’t aware of. He went on to identify another great grandchild and eventually that person’s mother and uncle who are both still alive. They provided pictures, stories, and documents to add to our family history.
