Welcome to the Bristol Co.,
RI
USGenWeb Page
- I would like to point out that I do not perform genealogy research for others, my main purpose is to acquire and post information that will be useful to others doing genealogy research in Bristol County, RI. PLEASE DO NOT write to me asking specific information about specific persons or places, most likely I will not know the answers and can only refer you to back to these pages. I do NOT live in Rhode Island and am very busy with my own research and HTML projects, having two USGenWeb sites and their corresponding mailing lists, as well as two surname lists. I am also webmaster of GenealogyForum.com, the website of Golden Gates Services, the former Genealogy Forum on AOL.

Post Or Read Queries
What is a Query?
It is a message from you about the people you are researching
Queries are designed to be posted on line so that others who are researching in the same state and county as you may read them and will be able to make contact with you if they have an interest in your query.
Like all other Rhode Island Counties, we have decided to stop posting new queries in the old query system, so we link instead to message boards where you can post your own messages at your convenience. The archived queries will remain online.
Message Boards For The State Of Rhode Island

They will also let you know if others are researching the same lines as you, along with their email address. This is where the messages that did not specify a county in Rhode Island should be posted.Like all other Rhode Island Counties, we have decided to stop posting new queries and link instead to message boards where you can post your own messages at your convenience.
