Queries
Queries are published with the intended result of locating information about a particular person or persons. If the query is unclear or asks for too much information, it is likely to be bypassed.
Focus a query on one or two surnames. Once contact is made with someone researching in the same area, then ask additional questions.
Three pieces of information are needed for anything besides a "pure chance" strike.
Several short, specific queries are preferred over one long, involved inquiry. This should elicite better and faster results.
On the subject line of your message requesting a query to be posted, use the word "Adams Co Query" and the surname in CAPS, to attract the attention of the site coordinator.
Include your name and mailing address at the end of the query. Some persons reading queries do not have email and cannot contact you without a miling address.
