Subject: Indiana Historical Society to Host Genealogy Workshop-Overcoming Your Brick
Walls
Overcoming Your Brick Walls
The Indiana Historical Society will host a genealogy lecture, Overcoming
Your Brick Walls, to explore commonly used genealogical resources from
10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, March 18 at the Indiana History Center, 450
W. Ohio Street, Indianapolis.
In the lecture, Carol Montrose will describe how to
recognize and glean clues to help overcome "brick walls" during
genealogical research. As Montrose will explain, researchers often need
to reevaluate just one piece of information that can often provide the
necessary clue to continue the research and break down the "brick wall."
Montrose has presented programs at the Ohio Genealogical
Society and National Genealogical Society annual conferences. She
teaches continuing education classes in the Columbus, Ohio area,
including classes at The Ohio State University. Since 1999 Montrose has
published a number of genealogy resource materials and books, including
an article that was included in Hank Z Jones book, Psychic Roots.
The cost to attend the workshop is $10; $8 IHS members.
Seating is limited and the registration deadline is March 8. To register
or for more information call (317) 232-1882. A registration brochure can
be downloaded at

independent, nonprofit organization also publishes books and
periodicals; sponsors teacher workshops; provides youth, adult and
