What is a Query?
It is a message from you about the people you are researching
The queries are designed to be posted on line so that others who are
researching in the same state and county as you may read them and will
be able to make contact with you if they have an interest in your query.
The county coordinators do not research the queries, they only post them
so that others may read them.

The Times Name Index
The West Warwick Public Library has created a personal name index to the
Pawtuxet Valley Daily Times/Kent County Daily Times, a newspaper that
has served the Kent County, Rhode Island area for over 100 years. This
index allows searchers to locate information about the people who lived
and worked in the area in the past. The Index currently covers the years
1892 to 1894. The time span included in the Index will expand as our
work continues.
