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.

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 "Links".

Can you look some information up for me?

If it's not on the site then I don't have the resource.
