I have limited information on one branch of the family. Chris Yes your query is fine. The minimum for a query like this is surname, place and date and you give all three - you are researching a family called Hogg in Lowick in the early 1800s and earier. It might be better, however, if you mentioned at least one specific member of the family - perhaps the earliest you know a little about - and give as much information as you can about him. Full name, when born, when died, occupation, spouse's name, names of one or more of his children, or whatever you know. That way other subscribers with Hogg interests can better decide if your research and theirs overlap.
