Frequently Asked Questions

Basic Questions

I am new to genealogy and would like to know where to get started in this County?

I would suggest that you explore "Resources". In this section you will also find many links to great sites for beginners. Also, just as important, you should post a query on the query board, join the email list and ask questions about your ancestors there. It has been my experience that the more places you ask the question, the better your chances of getting an answer.

You can also check out this page: Tips for Research in this County.

I don't see XXX church or cemetery on your list.

If you do not see additional information, no one has sent that information to me to post.

The pictures are so tiny, I can't see them.

They are "thumbnail" pictures. Click on the picture for a larger view.

How do I submit information to you?

You can type the information in an email to me or attach a document (.doc, .txt) to the email.

Specific People:

I am looking for information about XXX.

Unfortunately, if you don't see it on the site then I don't have any information about it. I do not live in this county, so am unable to check other resources. You can also give additional information here, just in case you do research for your county and do live in the county.

Can you send me a marriage license (or birth certificate, death certificate, court document) for my ancestor?

No, I'm sorry, but I do not have access to additional records. In most cases, you will need to check with the county courthouse in order to obtain original documents. You can find contact information in "Addresses".

Can you look some information up for me?

If it's not on the site then I don't have the resource. Your best bet would be to ask on the email list. There are many people subscribed and it's possible someone has that resource available. You could also write the Library.

Template Information:

Expression Web:

This template was designed specifically for Expression Web. Since the template uses dynamic web template (.dwt) pages, it is not compatible with FrontPage.

Dreamweaver:

You can choose the Expression Web template if you need a DWT. If not, choose the HTML template.

HTML5:

This template is made for almost any html web editor.

How do I add my site name?

Changing the Template Name, along with adding your own slogan, is easily done by typing in your name in the dwt or on the page in our generic html5 template.

Can I change the images used in the template?

You should replace all sample images with those of your own or submitted images from your researchers.

Can I change the colors used in the template?

Yes, you can easily change the colors used in this template. Look in the style.css file in the css folder. You will see the list of colors there. Just do a "find and replace" on the colors. When changing the colors, do the darkest shade first up to the lightest. You can also choose the coordinating color.
