How do you keep your interest going with #genealogy? Is the spark still alive? Or is the magic gone?
This is something that I've been struggling with. Recently, I had to make a few decisions on where to spend my #time.
I would love to hear from others on their thoughts about gen #research, #brickwalls, and #burnout
I wrote down a few of my thoughts and issues:

Solve the problem
Or leave the problem.
Do not live with the problem.

#genealogy #GeneticGenealogy #NorwegianAncestry #brickwalls #Telemark #VinjeNorwayPlace 🇳🇴🐐 I am working on a new blog post after a hiatus. It has been ten years since a 40 year brick wall tumbled down. And it did so via #DNA On reflection this was such an act of generosity of those fellow researchers with Norwegian ancestry it is remarkable in itself. It may take me a few weeks to pull it all together. Stay tuned. #FamilyHistoryStories

@AllThoseBefore @bjnlsgenealogy @genealogy one of my brick walls fell after 40 years. I got a DNA match w. Someone w. Norwegian ancestry. They said they didn't know how we matched, but they ran an FB group for Norwegian research. Would I like him to post my query there? Sure said I. The mystery was solved within 24 hrs by a woman sitting at a computer a stone's throw from where my 2nd GGM was baptized. I had written to the proper archive however the name as baptized was different from the name she adopted in the US. Baptised Asloûg Elifesdotter but became Elizabeth Olson. #brickwalls #familyhistory #serendipity. Her tree, with the help of perfect strangers more complete than my own back to the 1600's. You never know.

@Chigaze
Haha, I hear you! Luckily, I have some relations who were willing to pay the price for several of those Scottish records. I just have too many interesting New World family members to sort out before I try kicking in those #BrickWalls!

@catzilla @bomkatt Stalling happens. Easy to hit #BrickWalls with common names and/or limited records. I’ve been chugging along on mine for over 30 years now. It’s a puzzle that is never going to be fully solved.

DNA can be a great way to break down a genealogy brick wall. Working with a client's DNA matches, I made some small progress, but being able to triangulate these with his sister's DNA matches has allowed a great leap forward! Tomorrow looks to be a busy day - very exciting!
