Books We Own - User E-Mail Request Form

Using this form:

  1. The form below will help you format your look-up request, and will e-mail it automatically to the owner of the resource you have just selected.

  2. Please fill out the form completely, particularly those items marked [REQUIRED]. Missing or unclear information may well result in you receiving no answer to your request.

  3. Please make sure your return email address is correct - our lookup volunteers receive countless requests they are unable to fulfill because of invalid email addresses. It is YOUR responsibility to provide the correct email address. Provide the email address within your message, too, just to be sure.

  4. If your email service has a "whitelist" [where you accept emails only from those on an approved list] please add the lookup volunteer's email address to that whitelist - otherwise, they will not be able to respond to your request in a timely manner.

  5. Please note and follow any special instructions from the resource owner, whose information appears below.

  6. Please limit the number of surnames or resources you want looked up by any one owner. Many owners receive up to 300 e-mail messages per day. Since they are doing look ups as volunteers, it is important not to overuse their service.

  7. Be sure to notice whether the owner is requesting an SASE. If the owner is making copies of information and sending it to you, be sure to ask how much it will cost, so that you can reimburse the owner for his or her expenses.

  8. Please be sure to thank your lookup volunteer, whether or not they were able to locate your information. They are performing a valuable service - it is always nice to know their time and effort are appreciated.

I am an ardent believer in genealogy etiquette. I ask up front that requests for information or data be on an exchange basis (i.e. you will be willing to share as much information with me as you are requesting from me). Please try to be specific in your inquiry; requests that are worded something to the effect, "to send everything you have on the Dobberstein name," will be ignored. For requests by snail-mail, an SASE would be appreciated for initial contact and reply. My Juno e-mail account accepts text only; for lengthier messages containing long GEDCOM files, or messages with photos or other attachments, please ask me for my alternate e-mail address.
