52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks 2022: Week 39 (NEW TO YOU)
New to me?
When I first started thinking about this prompt I had no idea what I would write about.
I decided to open our Bramble Bush & look at my brick wall lines.
As I was considering my father's paternal line I realized I hadn't gone back to look at anyone else's hints now that the 1926 prairie census was released.
When it was first released I searched page by page looking for the Pellack family name. I just couldn't wait until the transcripts were finished.
With excitement I found the family, and then thought 'now I wait for the 1931 to be released.
At no point did I think about the other members of the family that were still living in Saskatchewan that might be able to help me break down the wall.
This week I spent hours researching the family members that remained in the Saskatchewan area.
I looked at my dad's DNA matches again searching with the extended family last names.
In the end I have added lots more details, but the brick wall remains.
Going back to look at the NEW TO ME facts!!!
This is why I search -
Cause ...
You can pick your friends, but you can't pick your family you know!
