This was very helpful! I'm going to try to apply this strategy to one of my current brick walls. I do have some people with the same surname as my subject, living in a neighboring town within the same county. I have a theory that my subject and the man in the neighboring town are brothers, but have not found a way to confirm this yet. Perhaps I need to develop a project that focuses on the FAN and his family!
Very useful! Thank you!

We're glad it was helpful! Studying the FANs certainly adds a new dimension to the research on our brick wall ancestors. Good luck!
