Seeking examples for a training meeting

In February or March, we will have our fabulous genealogists come to Vienna for a week of training meetings. To facilitate this, we are seeking examples of individuals and families that you're having difficulty finding information for, either census or death. Through the end of December, please do the following:

  • As you work, notice when you're having difficulty finding either census or death information for a family or individual you are working on.
    • Please note, do not tell me about every yellow X on your grid. If you have one yellow X in a sea of green, I'm not interested in this person.
    • We're more interested in the "I can't find this person anywhere" or the "I know I should be able to find this person, but I can't" sort of situations.
    • I'm hoping you'll recognize the examples I'm looking for when you come across them.
  • When you've found a good example, email me the following information
    • RecId number
    • Soldier's name
    • PID of the person you're having trouble with
    • Any information about it you feel we need (please keep this to a minimum as the genealogists will be doing their own research)
We are looking for families that will be good for training. I will create a list for Janice and Irene to review and research. Additionally, if you have any burning research related questions, feel free to send those to me as well.
