Queries and Lookups

Query tips

• put in as much information about the person you are making the query about as possible. This includes:
• name (variant spellings should be indicated in full in brackets)
• dates (birth, death, marriage, arrival in Canada or the area covered by this GenWeb site)
• places
• names of relatives (e.g., wife, husband, parents, siblings, children), if relevant

Make sure you proofread your query:

• spelling should be correct
• uppercase letters should be uppercase, etc.
• you ask a question

If you send out a general request for help, as in the examples below, you will not get much help and your query will likely be deleted from the query page (after being notified first). Nobody is really going to want to provide everything that they have.

Examples that likely won't get a response and that will be deleted.
1. Would like information on the following families: Wilson, Sparks, Johnson, Anderson, Bergeron.
2. Would like information on the Herchmer family. Originated in the USA.
3. Any information of the Jones family of X County (wrong site chosen for posting query).
