The recording of our 200th live webinar, "Expanding Your Research from a Single Fact" by Marian Pierre-Louis, is now available to view for free at www.FamilyTreeWebinars.com for a limited time. What a way to celebrate 200! Marian was terrific! Lots of great comments:
- I think this should be one of the must-sees for anyone taking on genealogical research. Extremely well structured and presented. By using the "one-fact" approach, Marian really teaches what good research is about, how to find and use clues one might otherwise ignore and how to avoid guesswork while building toward solid info, bit by bit. Great advice to open up one's thinking and use "non-genealogy" sources. Great way to provide both context and more clues, and make our ancestors come alive for us.
- A brilliant Webinar, very many thanks for giving me so much information on research techniques. Congratulations to all at Legacy!
- Excellent methodologies, especially for those without much non-genealogical research experience. And – I learned several helpful tips on Legacy in the after-party!

Legacy QuickGuide: Unraveling Brick Wall Mysteries – 2.95
Chances are, if you have spent any time at all working to compile your family history, you have run into difficulty finding at least one elusive relative . . . maybe even several of them! Within the genealogy community this experience is commonly referred to as a “brick wall.” Some brick walls may seem impossible to solve; however, as my mother often told me, “Nothing in life is impossible, some things just take a little longer to accomplish than others.”
Seemingly complex problems can often be best solved if we break down these problems into smaller components. Whether you are new to genealogy, or have been researching for many years, try breaking down your problem into smaller steps and follow the easy back-to-basics Brick Wall Process. Ultimately, the secret to Unraveling Brick Wall Mysteries will rely upon the utilization of the three P’s: Process, Persistence and Patience.
The Unraveling Brick Wall Mysteries Legacy QuickGuide™ contains useful information including an outline of effective strategy, tips and tricks and links to resources. This handy 4-page PDF guide can be used on your computer or mobile device for anytime access.
