I would like to ask the list members to please post their queries to the
list. I have seen no posts other than my own and the list is now 3 months
old. It is a small list so please try to post at least once a month if you
can. Please be sure you begin a new e-mail and put in an attention grabbing
SUBJECT LINE.
A good formula to follow in posting a good query:
Your first line will encourage or discourage a response. Try to say something
about your search. Common surnames without detail draw NO responses. The goal
is to get a reply, preferably an informative one. Your query needs to stand
"up" and be recognized. Always include a name with a place and a date at, or
very near the beginning of the query.
1.Full names should be in the query with the surnames CAPITALIZED.
2.Make sure you mention where your ZIEGENBEIN ancestor lived or at least the
state if town and county is unknown.
3.Dates should be included or at least a time frame that the family was in
the given areas.
4.Include any collateral names, again, post the surnames in CAPITAL letters.
