Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society

What are Queries?
Queries, in genealogical publications, have traditionally been similar to classified ads. They are short paragraphs, with specific details about a person or family, usually complete with a specific question or "query" about that person or family. These days, queries are published in magazines, newsletters, journals, newspapers, e-mail mailing lists and on web sites. The queries found here on the TPCGS web site are submitted by members and non-members who have research in this area of the world. The queries submitted are published in the society's quarterly and on this web site. If you are looking for research help besides this type of query, see the following pages for further options:

• Family Line Research
  A unique service of the Tacoma-Pierce County Genealogical Society.
• PSRoots Mailing List
  Free to subscribe to via e-mail for anyone who is doing genealogical research in the Puget Sound area of Washington state.
• Puget Sound Genealogy Resources
• Cyndi's List - Washington
