Query:
"I am working on an article about tracing your roots for
a special
supplement on Senior Life. Here is my assignment:
"Roots:
Discovering your family roots can be fun for both you and
your
family. Here's how to trace them, and tell stories to bring
you
closer together."
1) Have you traced your roots? How did you get
started? What
suggestions would you make to others who want to trace their
family
trees?
2) Do you offer services for tracing roots? Please give
me a BRIEF
synopsis of that service.
3) Have you "been found" by
someone tracing your family tree? What
was your first reaction to the
contact?
This research is being done via email ONLY. Please send me
your
thoughts, useable quotes and any relevant digital pics.
Please
include your name, location and professional title if any.
This
article is for a syndication service which publishes
supplements for
newspapers throughout the US and Canada (I don't
know which papers) and it is
rather well read. I need to assemble
this article BY Tuesday, April
14.
IF I use your name & quote or pic, I will be more than happy
to
email you a .pdf copy of the article (text only, sorry)
after
publication (after May 15)."
