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:

HANSDATTER, PEDERSEN
I am trying to find out what happened to Hanna Eline Hansdatter (b. 04 Aug 1861, in Ibestad,Troms, Norway) and Tolley Normann Pedersen (b. 1854, in Oh, Lavangen, Troms, Norway). Both emigrated from Ibestad, Norway, in 1889. They lived in Tacoma, WA, but appear to vanish thereafter. I'm trying to find out what happened to these two residents and whether they had any children. Any help would be appreciated.

TESSIER
I am looking for info on the first born daughter of George Allen Tessier. He emigrated from Canada before 1900. I have a picture of the family and on the back it says Vaughn Bay, Washington. I am guessing she married or died before the 1900 census as she is not listed with the family.

ANDERSON, TELLEFSEN
I am seeking information about Richard Beatty Anderson, b. 1921, Tacoma – d. 1944, Kwajalein, Marshall Islands. A destroyer was named in his honor. The surnames that I am interested in are Tellefsen and Anderson. I have a photo of some family members at the christening of the ship in Washington in 1945. I am hoping for help with the identification of people in the photograph and of course any family history.
