HELP!

The HELP! page is where:

Please do both! That is, ask for assistance when stuck, but volunteer to help in those areas where you have already done research.


The HELP! page provides three  kinds of resources:
  1. The Query pages, where you can ask about specific Moultrie individuals or families.
  2. The Surnames pages, where we list those who are researching family lines.
  3. The Lookups pages, where volunteers with access to specific reference works have agreed to look up information on request.

Queries

I invite you to enter a query for your Moultrie County ancestors. This page is NOT for advertising the book you are compiling, or for trying to find all John Does anywhere; it is for specific queries for individuals who have a Moultrie County connection. PLEASE follow this, or your query will not be posted.  (Though someone lived somewhere in Illinois, or lived in a neighboring county, this does not qualify as a Moultrie County query.) If you're not sure what county, say, Cerro Gordo is in, Click Here to find out, and then use your back button to return.

To send me a query, just .
