Tips for Posting Messages
Remember that when posting a message to any public forum, whether they are
Message Boards, or on Facebook, you should be clear and concise as to what
you are looking for. In the Subject line, you should include the Name,
Location, and a Time Frame at the very least, then in the Body of the
message, a more detailed description of the individual and/or family saying
what other records you have looked through and where, will better enable
others to help you in your research. Never ask for "all the records that you
have..." or similar wording when requesting research help, one should always
be specific and courteous in any message posted on a public forum, and you
will get much better results because researchers are more likely to read
through a well-worded message than one that gives little or no details.
