Once I have Helena's profile created I will post it to share with anyone reading my blog.
I have been struggling with my Cleff line and came across an interesting strategy that some researchers have found successful. The strategy is "profiling." Professional genealogist Heather Doherty relates profiling your ancestors to many of the strategies that are seen on popular crime shows like CSI, Criminal Minds, and NCIS. Profiling requires the researcher to build a profile of the "unsub" (or in my case my ancestor) by gathering everything you can find about the unsub, the time period, the location, and everyone in the life of the unsub. I plan to profile my ancestors, beginning with Helena and Herman. I would begin with Otto and Helene Cleff, but I know nothing about Otto and Helene at this time other than their names and the names of their children. I figured if I learn about Helena, I may ultimately learn about her parents.
