How to post a query
A Query Board will be set up in the lobby area of the conference center. Please review this to see if any cousins are in need of your assistance. To post query of your own, clearly write your query on the provided card and post for assistance. If you are interested, please indicate a contact method and indicate “ok to post.” Those with permission granted will be posted on the website after the conference.
The preferred format uses standard abbreviations and the date written as 27 July 1927. Show birth, death, marriage in that order, with event location shown before date and all known information stated before the question is asked. Remember to include your contact information!
Further advice on composing a query can be found in the NGS web article: “Writing a Query.”
