What a joy to expand a branch on your family tree. I was recently contacted on Facebook by a young woman who asked me if I knew the connection from their family to mine family. I emailed the young woman and told you I would take a look and see. Well, after about three hours of researching and comparing trees, I found the branch. We connect from my 3 great grandfather Martin Etnyre, her connection is his brother Lenhard Eidenire. WOW is all I have to say about connecting with a branch that…
What a joy to expand a branch on your family tree. I was recently contacted on Facebook by a young woman who asked me if I knew the connection from their family to mine family. I emailed the young woman and told you I would take a look and see. Well, after about three hours of researching and comparing trees, I found the branch. We connect from my 3 great grandfather Martin Etnyre, her connection is his brother Lenhard Eidenire. WOW is all I have to say about connecting with a branch that leads back to the 1700's. Now I want to find more branches from that line of siblings. If you are a Brenner, a Funk, a Long, a Parsons, or your last name is any form of the spelling of Eitniear: Eidenire, Itneyer, Idenire, Eitnire, Erdmayer, Itnire, Etnier, etc. Please post your family link so we may expand our tree. Hitting That Brick Wall!tag:www.genealogywise.com,2009-07-08:3463583:BlogPost:20102009-07-08T14:11:36.000ZShelly Kay Eitniear-Cherryhttp://www.genealogywise.com/profile/ShellyKayEitniearCherry
Have you hit a brick wall in your research? I am sure all of us have a brick wall on a surname at some point or another in our research. I have had several. What do you do about it? How have you broken down that brick wall?<br />
<br />
I have had a brick wall on my SUTHERLAND family and of course I am at a brick wall with my SMITH family. I had my Grandpa SUTHERLAND, my Great Grandpa SUTHERLAND and my GGGrandpa Sutherland but could not go any further. I thought it would be easy as my GGGrandpa's name was…

I have had a brick wall on my SUTHERLAND family and of course I am at a brick wall with my SMITH family. I had my Grandpa SUTHERLAND, my Great Grandpa SUTHERLAND and my GGGrandpa Sutherland but could not go any further. I thought it would be easy as my GGGrandpa's name was Lycurgus. Very unusally name I was thinking would be easy to find. It has taken me eight years to break that wall. How did I do it? Well, I posted on every SUTHERLAND genealogy site I could find. I emailed inquiries every SUTHERLAND researcher I could contact. I knew from census data that Lycurgus was born in Virginia and had an approximate birth year and finally one day a SUTHERLAND researcher contacted me with the information I was looking for but the information was not on the Internet it was in a family book someone way back when had created. Now I am going about proving the linkage.<br />

Tell us about your brick walls!! Maybe someone on here would be able to help.<br />
