Tips and Hints on writing a good list query 1. in the subject area: A short description of what the query is about...if about a person or surname, make sure it is in CAPS. Don't just reply to another post using the same subject unless it is the same. Many people will trash posts [unread] without a descriptive subject [ as in the many coming through with Re: [MAWORCES] Where We Live]. Take the time to change it ....it may just pay off with someone reading it that might have otherwise trashed it unread. 2. Writing the Query: Make sure to include Surnames, given names, places with dates and other important info. A huge amount of info is too much! Keep it short but informative. Say what it is you are looking for. Town names are especially important in a large county like Worcester [ more than 60 towns and cities!] Worcester [City] is very different than Worcester [county]. If you don't known an exact date, make an educated guess. Use circa or about so readers will get an idea of what time period is indicated. Here is a good web page about writing a great query. http://www.ngsgenealogy.org/newsqueriesgood.htm Betty Your listowner! bettythomas@charter.net My Family - http://BettyT.tripod.com Wicks,Hammond, Heintz,Bradfield,Walbridge Boylston Historical Society http://users.rcn.com/boyhisoc/ GenWeb County Coordinator for: Genesee, NY http://www.rootsweb.com/~nygenese Wyoming, NY http://www.rootsweb.com/~nywyomin Worcester, MA http://www.rootsweb.com/~maworces

I live in Maine in the summers and in Florida in the winters. I am researching the OLMSTED (OMSTED/OLMSTEAD, etc.) who were first found in Brookfield cira 1712. One of my stonewalls is Elizabeth LITTEN, who married Jeremiah OMSTED in 1734. I have not found her surname in New England that early, and can only conclude that it SOUNDED like Litten. I have seen the original church record in the Brookfield Town Clerk's office, and it is definately spelled LITTEN. Any ideas? Carl Hommel
