I know how frustrating it is to hit brick walls! Helping eachother is the only way we can get on with our search for relatives, isn`t it! Next time maybe you will be able to help someone else, and maybe that someone can help yet another in return.
In my case I live in Norway and thus know the language and the sources quite well - that makes it easier to find ancestry here!
But again - just glad I could help!
