How to write an effective query...

mecca-school

  • Write surname in bold letters or in all CAPITAL letters.
  • Give dates or approximate dates of events, along with locations.
  • Use upper and lower case letters in your query. Using all CAPS distracts from the important parts you want people to read and screams at you!
  • Post what you already know, and be specific about what you are looking for.
