Frequently Asked Questions

Basic Questions

I am new to genealogy and would like to know where to get started in a Parish?

I would suggest that you explore "Resources". In this section you will also find many links to great sites for beginners. Also, just as important, you should post a query on the query board, join the email list and ask questions about your ancestors there. It has been my experience that the more places you ask the question, the better your chances of getting an answer.

You can also check out this page: Tips for Research.

I don't see XXX church or cemetery on the parish page I'm searching.

If you do not see additional information, no one has sent that information to the Parish Coordinator to post.

The pictures are so tiny, I can't see them.

They are "thumbnail" pictures. Click on the picture for a larger view.

How do I submit information to the parish GenWeb?

You can type the information in an email to the Parish Coordinator or attach a document (.doc, .txt) to the email. If there is no parish coordinator, please send the records to Marsha Bryant, Asst. State Coordinator.
