George 21 yr. my great grandfather Mary 16 yr. dau. Margaret 14 yr. dau. Lydia 11 yr. dau. Luella 2 yr. dau.

Seek information about Finley Bailey and his parents, who may have lived in Vermilion before 1880. His father later became a lawyer in Casey, Clark County, IL. Finley Bailey later married and became a resident of Kalamazoo, MI. He married a Miss Lentner, born in US of German-born parents, and left her between 1900 and 1905. He later became a maker of wooden boats, but his residence at that time is not known. R. Decker, Chicago, IL

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/lg.2ADE/1180.2 Message Board Post: I'm just wanting to say that I have been getting a lot of queries that are incomplete and it is doubtful that they will get a response from anyone if I print them in the newspaper. Here are some general rules that promote success when posting a query in the newspaper: 1) The minimal information you need to send is the person or family's NAME, what LOCATION (at least the county) they lived in, and some DATES. I take queries from 6 Indiana counties and 2 Illinois counties, so you have to identify where the people were from. 2) If you don't give us your snail mail address, you are greatly reducing the chances of getting a reply to your query. I have people tell me all the time that they saw a query in the paper and wanted to respond to it, but it only listed an e-mail address, so they didn't reply. Many of the readers don't have e-mail. Another reason for including your mailing address is that the local library takes all of the queries posted in the newspaper and files them. Someone several years from now may see your query in the file and want to contact you. If you don't list your mailing address, then there is a good chance that the e-mail address you are using now won't be valid in several years in the future. Finally, anyone who wants to run a query in the newspaper should send them in to my e-mail address, tamszion@yahoo.com. When people respond to my offer on this message board, I don't know whether they're wanting to print a query in the newspaper or are just posting on the message board. Thanks.

These can be reached from the Vigo County Public Library Marriage Index website at http://165.138.44.13/marriage/. Just search for males with the name "Cline." (This is a great site for people interested in Vigo County or Edgar and Clark Counties, whose inhabitants were often married in Vigo County-usually, in Terre Haute.) I thought it interesting that their mother is listed as "Eileen Osborne" on one record and as "Lena Osborn" on the other. "Lena" is a shortened form of "Allena." "Eileen" is just a mistake. Similarly, their father is listed as "Ferd" (shortened from "Ferdinand") and "Fred."
