Genealogical Queries
Working on your Guedry-Labine family tree and reached a
dead end?
Try a genealogical query and let Les Guidry d'Asteur
Genealogy Committee members put your research back on track.
The Web contains some outstanding Query Forums for the
Guedry-Labine family. Rather than developing a new query site,
we'll use these existing query sites. Les Guidry d'Asteur
Genealogy Committee members will visit each of these sites at
least once per week and will respond to posted queries. Writing
an effective query is the first step in getting that missing
information.
TIPS FOR AN EFFECTIVE QUERY
-
Keep it simple, specific and concise.
-
Don't ask for the 'world'.
Limit your query to one or two generations. Don't ask for information
'all the way back to Claude Guidry' or ask for
'all the information
known on this branch'.
-
Try to ask a specific question.
Be specific in
requesting information. Where possible, ask a specific question
as "would like the place and date of marriage and children of
Claude Guedry and Marguerite Petitpas."
-
Provide as much genealogical
information as possible.
Provide as much genealogical information (birth, marriage, death
dates and places, spouse(s), where lived, military service) as
you know. Where information is estimated or uncertain, indicate
such. Often one tidbit of information can open the door to that
missing relative.
-
Where possible, provide information before 1910.
The
major published sources of civil and church records in Louisiana
terminate about 1910. If you can provide the date for a
genealogical event before 1910, you increase your opportunity
for a successful response to your query.
-
Capitalize surnames in your query.
Capitalizing the
surname (e.g., GUEDRY) highlights it and makes it easier for
others to spot it in the query.

those frustrating mysteries.
