FAQ

How to Get Started:

I am new to genealogy and would like to know where to get started in this County?

We suggest that you explore "Resources". In this section you will also find many links to great sites for beginners. Also, just as important, you should post a query on the query board, join the email list and ask questions about your ancestors there. It has been our experience that the more places you ask the question, the better your chances of getting an answer.

Basic Questions

I don't see XYZ church or cemetery on your list.

If you do not see additional information, no one has sent that information to us to post.

The pictures are so tiny, I can't see them.

They are "thumbnail" pictures. Click on the picture for a larger view.

How do I submit information to you?

You can type the information in an email to us or attach a document (.doc, .txt) to the email.

Specific People:

I am looking for information about XYZ.

Unfortunately, if you don't see it on the site then we don't have any information about it. You can also provide any additional information here.

Can you send me a marriage license (or birth certificate, death certificate, court document) for my ancestor?

No, we are sorry, but we do not have access to additional records. In most cases, you will need to check with the county courthouse in order to obtain original documents. You may find contact information in "Addresses".

Can you look some information up for me?

If it's not on the site then we probably don't have the resource. Your best bet would be to ask on the email list. There are many people subscribed and it's possible someone has that resource available. You could also write the Library.
