NOTE: Ancestry has announced that
beginning March 2, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be
discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept
incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be
available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival
state. After March 2, mailing list archives will remain available and
searchable on RootsWeb for the foreseeable future.
Alternatives to the mailing list for posting queries
are the following Facebook pages: Lincoln
& Lawrence Co., MS Genealogy & History Then & Now and Southwest
Mississippi Genealogy Group.
Pike
County queries may be posted from this page. The Rootsweb Message Board, a
bulletin board system, will be used to post queries for this county. Two of the
advantages of this new system are that your query will be posted almost
immediately after you click on the Submit button and responses to queries will
also appear on the query page.
I encourage
everyone who can provide factual responses to posted queries to do so through
the GenConnect Board. Please also include the source of your information in
your reply. By doing this, you will not only help the original submitter of the
query but other researchers who access the page next month or next year.
(Queries posted
prior to November 29, 1998 are still available for viewing below.)
Please read and follow these rules when
posting a query:
·
Provide enough
detail in your query (particularly dates when known) so that readers will know
about whom you are inquiring, but don't write a lengthy narrative.
·
In the interest
of privacy, do not include information on living individuals in your
query message.
·
Do not post GEDCOM files or descendancy charts as a query.
(These are too lengthy and no one but you will understand the numbering system
if you cut and paste an excerpt from a descendancy chart.)
·
Queries that are
inappropriate (do not mention Pike County, Spam, commercial, etc.) will be
deleted without notice to the submitter.
If your e-mail address changes...
· RootsWeb
Message Board: If your query is posted to this message board, you can update
your address on your query by returning to the message board. [I cannot update
addresses on this board.]
