Queries, Look-Ups & More

If you know of other resources, or are interested in volunteering in a way listed below, please contact the coordinator.

Queries

How to write an effective query:

• Write surnames with all CAPITAL letters, do not capitalize a persons full name.
• Give dates or approximate dates of events, along with locations.
• Use upper and lower case letters in your query. Using all CAPS distracts from the important parts you want people to read.
• Keep your query brief! Along with the name, dates and locations, include a brief description of what information you are seeking.

Where to read or post queries:

• New Jersey Genealogy Group - Join the group to Read & Post.
• Rootsweb's Message Board for Cape May county - Read & Post.
• Genealogy.com's forum for New Jersey - Read only.
