Finding those elusive ancestors is one of our specialties at Legacy Tree Genealogists. There are a number of reasons researchers find their efforts stymied. Sometimes, the ancestor in question is from a foreign country and the records are in a language you can’t read. Perhaps family history is a hobby, but you just don’t have the adequate time to devote to a difficult problem outside of your other usual family and career obligations.</p><p>But even those who have spent long hours often find themselves behind that familiar barrier because the research itself is a challenge. For example, pre-1850 research in the American Deep South (states such as Georgia, Tennessee, Virginia, and Texas) as well as Pennsylvania and New York can be difficult because of the lack of records caused by difficulty of access, destruction by war and natural disasters, or even the fact that they were never created in the first place. Early agrarian societies were isolated, often illiterate, and independent – disinclined to make long journeys to civil authorities to register events with the government.</p><h2>Genealogy Records & Onsite Researchers</h2><p>Often, what is needed to solve a brick wall isn’t going to be readily available. Even with the admirable and impressive digitization efforts being made by numerous entities, many crucial records are still housed <em>solely</em> at archives, courthouses, churches, and other repositories. They’ve never been found anywhere online, and most have never even been microfilmed. These could include religious rites, civil and criminal court records, divorce proceedings, guardianship papers, military service records, and the like.</p><p>At Legacy Tree Genealogists, we have established a network of onsite researchers all over the globe with access to archives and repositories where such records are held. These researchers know the area and the language, and can efficiently find the records necessary to break through your brick wall.</p><h2>Why Hire a Professional Genealogist?</h2><p>We deal with these issues on a daily basis, and have academic degrees, credentials, and language skills that have prepared us to approach them efficiently. Our unique qualifications lay in our ability to work around roadblocks. Many researchers limit themselves to basic sources: the census, vitals (birth and death records), and those documents indexed online. For a brick wall, creativity and fully exhaustive searches are required, and these are strategies usually beyond the means of the average hobbyist. As researchers, our collective experience has led to our finding answers through DNA testing, estate files, the social columns of newspapers (not just obituaries), county histories, tax records, deeds, funeral home data, social history, and court cases.</p><h2></h2><p>Answers in brick wall cases very seldom come all at once, but they are also rarely impossible to solve. Often, they are the result of painstaking methodology, piecing together seemingly unrelated facts and building a case. If you find yourself stuck behind a brick wall, whether by inexperience or lack of time, or are simply wanting to have your family traditions verified, consider hiring the professionals at Legacy Tree Genealogists and letting us help you. You will have our expertise, undivided attention, and a fresh set of eyes to tackle your roadblock.</p><div class="clear"></div></div></div></div></article></main></div></div><div class="featured-inner"><h2>Our Genealogist Team</h2></div><div class="team-landscape"> <img class="team-image" src="https://www.legacytree.com/wp-content/uploads/Team-Photo-2023-optimized-scaled.webp" alt="Genealogist Researchers"></div><div class="expertise-section-1"><div class="site-inner"><p>Hand-picked, tested and trained, our genealogist team knows how to find your story.

They did a wonderful job and provided me with a superb file which is filled with so much history that I haven’t yet been able to finish it. It is detailed, beautifully set out, clear and fascinating. I am delighted with it. The team kept in touch and gave me updates. I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience and it was money well spent.</p></div><div class="client-query"><div class="author"><div class="name">Ben Umphrey</div></div><p>I was adopted at birth and had no names of my biological parents. I reached out to Legacy Tree for assistance and they made the proper recommendation of taking DNA tests and not only did I find some biological relatives... I found out who my biological parents were and actually had the opportunity of meeting up with my biological mother and other relatives. I received all of these results within about a month and half of dealing with my project manager from legacy tree. Legacy Tree has the experience to help anyone achieve their goals and I doubt I would have had the type of success with my personal genealogy goals without the assistance and expertise of Legacy Tree. This was truly an unforgettable experience and a lifelong dream that came true for me.</p></div><div class="client-query"><div class="author"><div class="name">Patti Marsicano</div></div><p>I could not be happier with my experience with Legacy Tree!
