Back in September I posted a clipping I found in the Atlanta Constitution from 1915 that was one of the earliest ways people conducted genealogy research. Here’s another clipping!
From The Atlanta Constitution (Atlanta, Georgia), 10 October 1915, page 2F:

Correspondents will please: 1. Write plainly, especially names. 2. Give dates of approximate dates, localities or clew to the state in which ancestors lived. 3. Write queries on separate slip from letter, or one side of paper, and inclose stamp for each query. 4. Give full name and address, which will not be published unless so desired.
