| A Good
Genealogy Tip! |
|
When posting a query on a message board, and to
garner the most success, try to be as concise as
possible writing the subject line, while making sure
to cover the
all-important basics of who,
when and
where. A good example
of an informative subject line would be: "William
BROWN, born 1848, Boone County, Indiana." Avoid
using all-purpose, non-informative subject lines
that most readers will pass over, such as:
"searching for family," "need help," "genealogy,"
etc. |

Read Boone County Queries |
| Read and post
queries or request lookups on the
Boone County Message Board at RootsWeb. When
you post a new query, be sure and check the box
"Send me an e-mail when
anyone replies to this message." Do you need to
update your email address on the Message
Boards? You don't want to miss a reply! |

Message Boards & Lists
You have your choice of several message boards and email
lists for Boone County. For the best possibility of making a
connection or receiving a reply to your query, use all of
them. Make sure you always check off the box that says,
"notify me when someone responds." You'll then receive an
email notification when someone replies, even if it's months
later. If your email address changes, make sure to update it
on all the message boards and lists you've ever used, so you'll
never miss a reply. Better yet, use a free email account
such as Yahoo
for genealogical purposes and you'll never have to remember
to change your address with every list and mutual researcher
you've corresponded with in the past, if your regular home
email changes. Then your genealogy email
address will never change, no matter how often your regular
home address changes. Another plus - you'll receive a LOT
less spam on your home email account!
