Tuesday Trivia

Do you know the difference between the two words

QUERY and QUESTION?

They are both nouns and according to Grandma Google, they are pretty much synonymous. Think of a query as a question of inquiry and a question as a sentence asking for information. Does that help? Maybe?

Why do I ask that today?  Well, TA-DA!

As of today, the WSGS blog will gladly accept and happily post (for all to see!) YOUR queries (or your questions?) pertaining to your Pacific Northwest ancestry.

Maybe your query will be like this: “John Peter Oswald died in the 1940s in the Seattle area but I cannot find his cemetery location….help?”  Or even this:  “My father served at Fairchild Air Force Base in the 1950s…could anyone in the area get on base to take a photo of the house where they lived?” Or this: “Are there any records for Point Roberts, Washington, which is accessible only through Canada?”

So whether you have a query or a question about any aspect of your Pacific Northwest ancestry, send them my wayDonna243@gmail.com   (P.S. We may set up a specific email for this; stay tuned.)
