This happened to an uncle of mine. He is known as the family genealogist. He was collaborating with a cousin of his on a certain line of research, and they both were hitting dead ends. The information trail on the family they were following just vanished for no reason in the State of Tennessee, and they were pretty frustrated about it. His cousin was a real estate agent. One day she went to a vacant house to familiarize herself about it for a showing to a prospective buyer. She was there all by herself. As she walked through the rooms, she suddenly felt someone else with her. She was scared and worried for her personal safety. She didn't seen anyone, but she sensed communication coming from an unseen being. He told her his name - which was the ancestor she and my uncle were researching - and he explained that they had been living in Virginia and their farm was failing there. He heard that the land was better down in Tennessee, so he moved his family there to operate a farm. He told her the year they moved and the location they had moved from.
As soon as she could, she went to the Genealogical Library and looked up the location and the year he told her about. Sure enough, she found his family living there in Virginia, exactly when and where he told her. She and my uncle found a lot of records about him and his ancestors that helped them complete quite a few more generations of information on this family line.
Don't . . . Quit . . . Trying!!
