QUERY TIPS

1. Include surnames in CAPITAL LETTERS in the subject line and the first time you use it in the query.


2. Be specific. People do not often respond to queries such as "Send me all information about the POWELL family"


2. Be specific. People do not often respond to queries such as "Send me all information about the POWELL family"


3. Check online sources for answers to general research questions before posting to a list. Genealogists love to help those who help themselves.


4. Try to stay away also, from using too many abbreviations unless your space is limited. Many researchers may not recognize the abbreviations you are using.

5. Try to use an email address you will be sticking with. There are thousands of queries on the Internet with no way to reach the posters because the email address is invalid.

We are tracing the histories of our GILBERT and GOLDSMITH families over here in England and have placed the information we have found on a website (which we update as and when we find new information) at http://website.lineone.net/~steve_and_jan . The reason for this message is that we have a connection with Mahoning County (and Youngstown in particular) through members of the BATES family (Steve's paternal grandmother was a BATES) who settled in Mahoning County shortly before the First World War. Our website includes details of those descended from these people, and we thought it might be of interest to members of your society who may be able to find connections back to the UK.

I am interested in exchanging information about the Maddalena and Quaranto/Quaranta families who began coming to the Hubbard area in the early 1880s and later to Youngstown. Several of the Quarantas changed their last name to Ford. Altered spellings for the Maddalenas were Magdalena and Madaline/Madeline. Allied families include the Leonellis, Caranos, DeMarios, Del Frainos, Del Quadris and a few more. Thanks. Mike Vance - pccowboy@swbell.net

I am looking for any info on the Joseph and Martha (Miller) ROBBINS family found on the 1830 census in Poland, Trumball, Oh. I know they were both born in New York and that Joseph's father's name could have been Samuel. There are six children reported on the 1830 census; the child I am related through is Daniel Stoddard Robbins who was born in Dec 1830 and may or may not have been recorded on the census. Any names of the other children, whereabouts of any of the family besides Daniel after 1830, or parent info for Joseph or Martha would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
