I just got back from the NERGC conference in Manchester, NH Sunday where I left a query on the board about my John Sorell BRICK WALL. Ed who lives in Hinesburg, VT just e-mailed and offered his Society's help. I replied immediately and thanked them. I now am keeping my fingers crossed that they have better luck than I did. By the way the Town Clerk's office in Hinesburg, Vt. is very modern. They are really very helpful to genealogists.
While there in Manchester, NH I visited the American-Canadian Genealogical Society, at 4 Elm Street. The volunteers were very helpful and he/she went out of his way to help me.They couldn't find any more than I had already but did offer some ideas that I will follow up with this week.
Let's break down a BRICK WALL. Genealogy and History go hand and hand and as we all know searching for our “roots.” First step is to be a great detective. Next is to state your sources because facts without documentation is just a fairy tale. What happened to John Sorell? Who is he, where was he born, and when did he die? Minnie M Howe was a very interesting woman and I have gathered much documentation on her life, which I want to share with the world. They were married on 13 October 1894.
