    What to put in your message

    A few lines are enough to start. The more of these you can give, the better the first read.

    • A mystery or an ancestor

      • The name, or names, as the family knows them
      • A place, even just a county or a town
      • Rough dates, within twenty years or so
      • What the family says, word for word if you can
      • A photo of any paper you already have
    • Studio work

      • What you have: a photograph, a letter, a map, a place
      • What you would like made from it
      • Roughly how many pieces, and how large
      • When you need it, if there is a date
    • A correction

      • The page, with its link
      • What it says, and what you believe is right
      • The record that shows it, if you know one
      • We check it against the source and write back either way
    • A business or society

      • Your business, museum, society or event
      • What you have in mind: a sponsorship, a story, a placement
      • When, and for how long
      • Promotions and sponsor & advertise show the ways in
