Thank you for posting this. I search many county query boards but I get so frustrated at people who just say they have a William McDaniel son of Thomas or John or whatever....sometimes they give a TOWN not a COUNTY and then I have to look it up to see if it is in the area I'm researching....(I search for McDaniel and McDonald/McDannald names in the NE KY area) and the TIME period is VERY important....if someone is looking for theirs in the late 1800s I probably cannot connect up to theirs as most of the families I am working on moved on to MO or IN by then. So, by giving the extra info in the first place really helps. And doing your homework on your lines is also important. I teach beginning genealogy and one of the first assignments is doing census work....by the time you are hitting the query boards you should have the basic census work for that county done. It helps researchers like me identify which family group you are asking about. And the MOST important thing: PUT YOUR QUERIES ON THE BOARD! I have exchanged with others who have been READING the boards for many months but never put their own query on it.....no one is going to see it if you don't post it. Good luck to all....and if you have a McDaniel connection in Lewis County KY, let me know.
