Following our AGM, we had a talk from Lucy-Ann Curling and Clive Boyce entitled ‘Which John Curling’; describing their research methods when seeking to identify the correct ancestor from others with the same name.
It was fascinating to hear that Lucy-Ann and Clive had spent a number of years working on this joint family project whilst never having met in person until that day; all their contact and work having been carried out online. This alliance, bringing different styles and skills to bear on the same problem, gave us food for thought when dealing with our own ‘brickwall’ situations.
