When the trail goes cold, change the approach. Every genealogist hits a “brick wall” — an ancestor who simply won’t be found. This Brick Wall Breaker Protocol is your systematic rescue plan: it walks you through re-examining your evidence, questioning your assumptions, identifying record types you haven’t tried, broadening to siblings and neighbors (the FAN club), and forming fresh hypotheses to test.
The fields are fully fillable with no software required — work the problem on screen, print it for your binder, or save it digitally. It replaces frustration with a proven, methodical process that breaks through stubborn walls — and documents your renewed line of attack so the breakthrough, when it comes, is one you can prove and pass on.
