Keep your query focussed and provide useful clues for your Newfoundland, P.E.I., New Brunswick or Nova Scotian “cousins.” 2. Write individual queries for different family groups. 3. Separate notes to me (Sandra Devlin) from the query itself. 4. Write out words like born, died, married, daughter, etc. The column’s readership is not always accustomed to the shorthand of experienced family researchers. 5. Write dates -- month, date, year - same logic as above. 6. PLEASE do not capitalize surnames in the text of query, only at the beginning. Looking forward to receiving your query.
