One of the purposes of this blog is to facilitate communication among the members. Although most of us have email, not everyone does. In addition, a member may have helpful information that would advance another member's research.
For instance, if I post a note about one of my elusive ancestors, then each of you could make suggestions for me to do further research. All this requires is a willingness to share information by two people:
1) The person with the elusive ancestor - needs to share the problem statement, what is known about the ancestor, and what resources have already been found.
2) The reader who might know something - if they have information about the ancestor, they could share it. If they have information that might help find the ancestor, they could share that.
If you want to ask a research question about any topic, then send us an email to the Genealogy Cafe at CVGenealogy(at)gmail.com. We will read it and put it into a post on the blog, along with an answer to the question. We will collect all of these questions in one of the Labels on the Left Sidebar of the blog - called "Questions and Answers."
If you want to share your elusive ancestor problem, then send an email to the Genealogy Cafe at CVGenealogy(at)gmail.com. We will read it and put it into a post on the blog. And ask our members, or even readers from outside of CVGS, to comment on it or share their information. We will collect all of these in one of the Labels called "Elusive Ancestors."
The main reason for posting these Questions and Answers and Elusive Ancestors notes is that this blog is searched by Google. Therefore, someone searching for the specific ancestor on Google will find the post in question and, hopefully, be moved to respond.
