Submitting Your Data Submitting your information is very important to you as well as our program. It is one of the many ways to make contact with others researching the same family lines as yours. We have a number of programs for your use and you may submit your data in any way for posting on this web page. Since we receive so many queries daily, it is hard to remember all the names and/or E-Mail addresses. We ask that you include your first and last name in the body of your E-Mail. QUERY - Keep your request as short as possible, but yet at the same time provide as much information as possible. Dates and places are very important. If you abbreviate, use standard abbreviations or spell it out. Please include your first and last name and E-Mail address. To submit them, use the "Queries Message Board". This will place them on line for all to see. For submitting queries for the Footprints Newsletter, see address below. IN SEARCH OF - If you have a lot of information to list in your query, you may use this feature. However you should also indicate "How, When and Where" you have searched and any problems you have encountered. Also include any suggestions or thoughts you may have on the family. This will help eliminate any duplication of research by others who may want to help you. To submit them, place on the Subject Line: "IN SEARCH OF". Send them to the address listed below. DESCENDANTS LIST - Although a "Descendants List" or a "Ahnentafel Chart" is not a true form of query, they both help others in trying to find possible links to their's as well as your ancestors. They can be used in conjunction with the "In Search Of" query above. AHNENTAFEL CHART - This chart is the best way that we have found to let others know the names your are researching. It provides all the Surnames, dates and places for your line. If you would like to have your chart presented on our web page, we will do so. HISTORIES, BIOs, OBITS, etc - These items are as important as any of the above. They can be submitted in the same manner. If at all possible, be sure to include the "Title, date and author, of the publication taken from. This allows others a place to locate the document as well as making contact with you. We do not check the spelling of names, places, etc., so make a check before you send them in. Do not send attachments by e-mail. Contact Footprints for instructions on sending attachments.
