This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Author: James_R_Davis Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.pennsylvania.counties.schuylkill/141.1.1.2.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi John, The surnames list is the list of names used to index the post/message. So if you want people to find your post then put the surnames in your post that if searched on by someone somewhere else in RootsWeb or Ancestry will lead them to your post. You can put none or ones in your post. But hopefully not all the names you research because this would bring readers here that will find nothing they are interested in. So in this case I will not put any surnames in the list. Since I'm not interested in any other posts related to this string of posts I have unchecked the "Send me an alert when anyone replies." Oh one more thing, try to always put a name, date, and place in your query and subject to help readers quickly decide if they can be of help. So for best results if would have been been helpful if you had mentioned what era you thought the Kripplebauer person in the photo lived.
