When you hit a brickwall, leave it alone for awhile. If possible, have someone new look at your information and maybe they can see something you cannot and have ideas that you have not thought about on where to look.
For 20 years I had a brickwall, with persistence and determination and lots of trips to Houston County of Minnesota, I broke the wall down. All I knew was that my great-grandfather was born in Valders and came to America as a small child. With that information and the help of many along the way, I finally found his christening record in Bergen, Norway. His mother was from Valdres, she was not married to the father, she went to Bergen and gave birth to him and then they came to America.
Never be afraid to ask for help from others. There are many lists you can ask for help on at Rootsweb.
