How to write a query

By DORIS McMANIS CAMDEN In genealogical research, there are times when a person feels there is nowhere else to go, “The End” has been reached, and yet questions have not been answered. Submitting a query to a column such as this or to a genealogical publication can produce excellent results. A query once promptly brought me copies of a Bible record back to 1772, not only adding to my family but verifying some doubtful dates. DORIS McMANIS CAMDEN Almost always, queries are without charge. A few charge for non-members or nonsubscribers. It does take time for your query to be printed. Make a copy of what you submit, and date it. This is to prevent your resubmitting the same query. Adhere strictly to the rules

Rural numbering glitches to be corrected at Barbee-Chapman lakes

I By K ATE WOLFORD Staff Writer Trouble with the rural numbering system on r 6 Warsaw should soon be ironed out through the technical efforts of the Rural Numbering Project staff and the footwork of the Rural Numbering Committee. Although there are also problems on r 1. the Chapman Lake area, those are expected to be resolved more quickly and easily. Glitches concerning the implementation of the system for the Barbee Lakes chain (r 6) first came to light at an April 25 meeting of the county commissioners. On hand for the discussion, at that meeting, were North Webster Fire Chief David Biesemeyer and Sue Mitchell, who represented the Tippecanoe Township EMS. "We re concerned about our people." said Mitchell. Specifically, their concerns involved the giving of emergency services. Area residents should not give the new numbers when requesting emergency services, they advised. Apparently, it is feared that emergency care givers would not be able to find residents using the numbers that were assigned earlier this month. The issue was reviewed once more at an April 27 meeting of the Rural Numbering Committee. It seems there pre problems with the rural numbering system on the Barbee Lakes chain area. At present, it is important to note that residents on the Barbee Lake chain should be using their old numbers: not the new ones. Notifications to that effect have been sent out

shown for submission. If a 3 x 5 card is wanted, or an B'2 x 11 sheet of paper, follow directions. Each query should contain a name, including given names, if possible, a place and a date or time period. Do not put more than one family line in a query. Type or print clearly; be as brief as possible. Women should use maiden names as well as married name. This gives you “double exposure” and tells who you really are. If there are boundaries for queries, such as a county or an area, mention that in your query. It is extremely time consuming and difficult to try to interpret poor handwriting, to chart a disorganized query, and neither should be necessary. It can slow the printing of your query if it has to be returned to you. We like to hear about cousins who have found each other and what successes your queries have brought. Keep the queries coming. 410. Daniel RODGERS, born 1 March, 1798, married Elizabeth S. COMSTOCK on 6 April, 1837; Abraham H ROGERS married Josephine MILLICE on 22 October, 1874, both in Kosciusko Co.

It appears that while the county record books used for the numbering are fine for normal county use, the plat books are offscale and that has made for trouble in the Barbee Lakes area. While the books worked for numbering other areas of the county, on the rather winding and curving lakes areas, the plat book inaccuracies did cause trouble. Steve Maenhout was scheduled to meet with North Webster emergency care providers on Monday to help map out a system that will work on the Barbee Lakes chain. Input from the fire and EMS departments is considered important to the effort to number the area correctly. Although there are about 400 to 500 structures to be numbered on the Barbee Lakes chain area, only about 350 residents receive mail there. * With the Rural Numbering Project department working on the technical end of the Barbee Lakes chain numbering problem, a plan could be devised in about 30 days. The numbering committee will, at a later date, provide the foot power, through volunteers-; to go from door to door in that area, and provide notice of the changes. As for the Chapman Lake area problems, properties have, for the most part, received the correct addresses. As a result, problems there should be corrected and the system in place in about a week In 19 opt of 20 cases, Maenhout said, the addresses will be the same as previously notified. Until notification, r 1 residents should use their old addresses. At the April 27 meeting, the committee repeatedly expressed
