The Brickwall Genealogical Society

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A SOCIETY PAGE

Purpose of Our Society
To assist those in breaking through their brickwall research problems. If that is not possible, we can help you build fictitious stories about your family history using photoshopped documents to create generational links.

Record Collections
County Church Records


 * Located: Currently this set of records is indexed and available online at our website. This is a free index and is available to members and non-members.
 * How to access: From the society homepage use the link "Church Records" to access the index.
 * Why to search this record: Because Brickwall County was very late in recording vital records and many records were burned in one of the seven court house fires, church records play an important role in finding those allusive ancestors.
