When I was a newby at online genealogy someone told me always include: Who, What, Where, When in all queries. The more info you send the more likely you are to get help. As the manager of the Tombstone Project let me tell you how many people over the years who have sent inquiries like "can you find my grandfather's grave for me?" with no other information is stunning!   Kathi Jones-Hudson, National Manager Tombstone Transcription Project http://www.usgwtombstones.org/ >________________________________ > From: Sandra Ferguson <ferg@ntelos.net> >To: jhelmke@sbcglobal.net; pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com >Sent: Tuesday, October 2, 2012 12:32 PM >Subject: Re: [PaOldC] graves in Chester co PA > >When requesting help, it is good to include some more info, other than just >a surname....which, is not nearly enough for folks to go to their resources >to help you look.  Every query must contain 3 elements.....full name,  date, >and geographic location.  In this case, it would be helpful , if you  would >also  include a religion, if you know it.  Many of us have various and >assorted burial records, but don't have the time to look through them all, >without more information.  We like to help folks, but need straw for >bricks!! >                                                        Sandra > > >"Has anyone found graves for Allison and Simonton?
