I've learned quite a bit from Mary Hill's past webinars, and have adopted her color-coded filing system. Yesterday she presented "Overcoming Brick Walls Caused by Record Loss," a problem I've encountered many times in my research (I'm looking at you, Chesterfield County, South Carolina):
Many records have been lost due to climate, poor storage, and war. Often it is possible to find alternative records if you know where to look. Federal records such as the census, and cemetery records both local and national are just two of the many record types to check to find ancestors who lived in areas where records were destroyed or lost.
