How I solved my Anderson "Brick Wall"
The Anderson line was a "Brick Wall" until 18 months ago, when it was solved with the help of information from an April 2000 message board. Another person was working on their Anderson line eight years ago, and putting all the records she found on that same message board. A lady named Dorothy had helped that person out. I felt that that some of the information could tie into my line, but I needed help, as Dorothy had a copy of a limited edition of a 660 page genealogy, that had my names. It was a wise move to contact her, because the book had all the sources too, and she is pretty much an expert on New Netherland families. She sent me copies of all the pages I needed, and the rest is history. You never know how or when your "Brick Wall" will come down, but when it does the feeling is simply wonderful. Thank you Dorothy.Even locating Dorothy was easy, although her email was no longer in service. A google search showed that she was a member of a genealogy club, and Stephen Danko attended meetings there. Within days, after contacting him, I had her email address. After a quick email to her with all the facts, she wrote back, saying, "I'm glad that you were able to locate me!" So you can see, I used quite a few methods to solve my mystery.
