> When you fill in the form, write all information between the square
> brackets [ and ]. PLEASE DO NOT EDIT OR ALTER THE FIELD NAMES.
>
> I repeat: PLEASE DO NOT ALTER OR EDIT THE FIELD NAMES!!!!
>
> Computers are literal-minded beasts, and to them "Surnames[" and
> "Surnames [" or "Surnames :" mean entirely different things. They may
> seem to mean the same things to you, but they are not the same thing
> to computers, so, PLEASE DO NOT ALTER OR EDIT THE FIELD NAMES!
>
> You may leave the Entrydate[ and Updated[ fields blank. I will fill
> them in when I receive the form to ensure consistent date formatting.
>
> The Surnames[ field is for the surnames you are researching. It is
> best to use only one surname per form, but if there are different
> spellings of the name, or if the person used more than one surname,
> enter them with the most important one first, separated by a slash /.
>
> The Begin[ and End[ fields are for the period of the search - either
> the lifetime of the person, or the possible range of dates for the
> event. ENTER NUMERIC YEARS ONLY - one year in the Begin[ field and one
> in the End[ field. NO LETTERS PLEASE! FOUR NUMERALS ONLY PER FIELD!
>
> The Place[ field is for the main place where the person lived, or
> where they were last seen. If you enter it in the order of country,
> state/province/county, city/town/district, it will be possible to sort
> it. ENTER ONLY ONE PLACE IN THIS FIELD. If the person was associated
> with other places, mention them in the body of the query. ENTER THE
> PLACE, ONE PLACE, AND NOTHING BUT THE PLACE!
>
> The Source[ field is for where you are entering this query, or where
> it was published. For example, Source[ Family Tree magazine, October
> 1996 ]. If you have entered the query on a BBS echo, put the name of
> the network and the echo: Source[ Fidonet, GENEALOGY.EUR echo ].
>
> ResearcherName[ is for the name of the person who wants the informa-
> tion (or who holds the information if you are announcing information
> to share with others), and ResearcherAddress[ is for their postal
> address. If the address is too long to fit on one screen line, press
> <Enter> BEFORE you reach the ] right square bracket, and continue on
> the next line. Where field data spans more than one line, the field
> must end with a ] (except in the Query[ field). The ] is optional if
> the data fits on one line.
>
> The E-mail[ field is for an e-mail address. If you don't have one,
> leave it blank. If you have more than one, you may copy the field,
> thus:
>
> E-mail[
> E-mail[
>
> as many times as is necessary. If you use a Fido-type address, specify
> the network and logon name, e.g. E-mail[ Steve Hayes 5:7106/22.1
> Fidonet ]
>
> The Query[ field is for the main query. It can be several lines long.
> Try to make it concise but informative. Use abbreviations only if you
> are sure they will be understood - b. for born, d. for died etc. Begin
> with a repeat of the main surname in upper case, followed by a comma,
> and the first names of the person. Also, if you abbreviate place
> names, remember that a search may not be able to find them if the
> abbreviations are non-standard. Try to make each query as specific as
> possible. If you are posting a query, make sure you say what you are
> looking for - a date or place of birth, marriage, death, names of
> parents, all ancestors, all descendants or what.
>
> If you are posting to tell others about information you have to share,
> make sure it is clear just what information you have - "descendants of
> John Jacob Jingleheimer Smith of Munich (Muenchen), Bavaria, Germany"
> or whatever.
