SLIG 2024: Beyond the Brick Walls: Strategies for Pre-1850 U.S. Research

Do you get stumped when you try to research an ancestor earlier than the 1850 U.S. census? Hate beating your head against that particular brick wall? Then take this course to learn how to avoid that research headache.

Beyond the Brick Wall: Strategies for Pre-1850 U.S. Research is designed to show you how to overcome the unique challenges of researching in the United States before 1850. Records from that earlier time often contain less information, are seldom indexed, and can be challenging to find. You will be introduced to pre-1850 record types and learn strategies for identifying relationships prior to 1850. You will gain hands-on practice in applying advanced research skills, record analysis, and evidence correlation.

Beyond the Brick Wall is coordinated and taught by

  • Julia A Anderson, MA, AG
  • Jacqueline Kanyuck, AG
  • Lyn Rasmussen, CG
  • Beth Taylor, CG
Watch this interview as the coordinators discuss this course:


Beyond the Brick Wall: Strategies for Pre-1850 U.S. Research will meet online January 22–26, 2024. All SLIG 2024 courses will be offered virtually this year.
