Genealogists are inherently curious about their heritage. An intrical part of genealogical research is the pursuit of answers to questions. You’d agree, the study of family history certainly generates lots of ancestor questions. Some questions are simple and require a brief time to search or to look up. PROJECT QUESTIONS are the most complex and require specialized, CUSTOM RESEARCH to address.
SIMPLE-TYPE QUESTIONS (genealogy-related)
Finding an answer to a simple question generally requires a brief search or lookup. There are numerous categories for types of questions upon which a simple query is based. The examples below represent just a few of those categories:
- What does the particular term “spider” found in my North Carolina ancestor’s estate inventory mean? [TERMINOLOGY]
- What are the various nicknames for “Margaret” and “Esther”? [NAMES]
- In what year did Alabama terminate the County Orphans Court and establish the County Probate Court statewide? [DATE (broadcasted)]
- Were there any survivors in the aftermath of the Fort Mims Massacre which occurred in August 1813? [EVENT]
- Where might I find the South Carolina law which defined the duties of a guardian of a minor during the period 1820-1830? [SOURCE]
- In 1816, what was the principle land route taken by settlers who desired to travel from Pendleton District, South Carolina, to Lincoln County, Tennessee? [MIGRATION]
