QUERY TIPS

1. Include surnames in CAPITAL LETTERS in the subject line and the first time you use it in the query.


2. Be specific. People do not often respond to queries such as "Send me all information about the POWELL family"


2. Be specific. People do not often respond to queries such as "Send me all information about the POWELL family"


3. Check online sources for answers to general research questions before posting to a list. Genealogists love to help those who help themselves.


4. Try to stay away also, from using too many abbreviations unless your space is limited. Many researchers may not recognize the abbreviations you are using.

5. Try to use an email address you will be sticking with. There are thousands of queries on the Internet with no way to reach the posters because the email address is invalid.

We are tracing the histories of our GILBERT and GOLDSMITH families over here in England and have placed the information we have found on a website (which we update as and when we find new information) at http://website.lineone.net/~steve_and_jan . The reason for this message is that we have a connection with Mahoning County (and Youngstown in particular) through members of the BATES family (Steve's paternal grandmother was a BATES) who settled in Mahoning County shortly before the First World War. Our website includes details of those descended from these people, and we thought it might be of interest to members of your society who may be able to find connections back to the UK.

Powell.  Scott Powell, Sr.  Cell #215-446-6373   Email:  scott.powell@dhs.gov                                                          
Posted 2/23/09                                                                                                                                                                                      My name is John Gubancsik and I am researching my GUBANCSIK surname.  I have found several GUBANCSIK's that immigrated from Hungry and stated on their passenger records that they were going to Youngstown, Ohio.  This would have been between 1900-1920.  I have been able to find only one record in Mahoning Co.  That is a WW1 draft reg. card for Andy GUBANCSIK.  It showed he lived on Washington St. in East Youngstown.  It was dated 12 Sep 1918.  Andy was born 30 Nov 1885 in Hungry.  Any information on GUBANCSIK's in Mahoning Co. would be appreciated.  My email address is jgubancsik@hotmail.com.
Posted 5/29/09                                                                                                                                                                                          I am Albert Lee I live in UK and together with an Australian cousin Faye are researching our joint Bagwell ancesters.  We seek descendants of Charles John Bagwell born in London July 7 1875 and who we believe emigrated to Ohio Mahoning via Canada.  Prior to emigration he was like his father a skin dresser and known as Jack.  He came to Canada on the steamer Parisian from Liverpool departing July 23 1903, giving his destination as Peterborough Ontario but moved to Youngstown Ohio USA about 1910.  In 1919 we have his wartime alien registration showing he was married to an Esther E and working at Truscon Steel Corp, probably as a pattern maker.  He appears in the 1920 census with Esther E and a son Rudolf Bagwell living in Mahoning and again in 1930 censusWe do not have Charles John Bagwells death but his widow Esther E died in Aug 13 1961.  We believe Rudolf Bagwell was a civil engineer who died before 2008 but there is at least one son Kenneth Bagwell who may be alive.  We believe his mother was Roberta "Bobs" Bagwell a professional photographer who died in 2008.  We are keen to make contact with any living relatives to see if the trail above is really Uncle Jacks.  Our Bagwell line goes back to the late 1600s in Exeter, Devon England.  We hold many early victorian papers and photographs including uncle Jacks which we could share with genuine relatives. Please contact me Albert Lee via email at piscator60@live.com
