Tips for Writing a Productive Query
- The green stripe indicates this is a QUERY board and you can post queries and responses to queries to it. If you see an orange strip, you are on the Obits board. Enter queries only on the Query board.
- Your query must mention the county you post it to or it will be deleted without notice.
- When posting your query, include all surnames in the subject line so they will be included in a global search. Enter SURNAMES in ALL-CAPS.
- DO NOT include any characters except a comma ( , ) in the Surname line.
- When posting a response to a query, include ONLY those surnames included in your response.
- DO NOT post gedcom files... even small ones... to any of the pages.
- If you want to receive an email notice if someone posts a response to your query, be sure you complete the email field and place a checkmark in the box just above the "Post Message" button.
- If you want to receive an email notice when anything is posted to a particular board, subscribe to that boards email notification list at the bottom of the board. If you later want to unsub from the board list, enter your email address, select unsub, and click on submit address.
When unsubbing from one of the board email notification lists keep this in mind... the list is case sensative so if you subbed using all caps, or any part of caps, you must unsub the same way. XXXX@XXX.COM is NOT the same thing as xxxx@xxx.com
- If you post a query, and your email address changes later, post a response to your own query giving your new email address, or send an email to the county coordinator with a request they edit your query. You need to give them both your old and new email address.
