Lookups, Volunteers and Researchers

Dubuque County Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers Needed

If patrons to this site own any Dubuque County books and will do look-ups, please contact the website coordinator who will be glad to put your name and info here. If you have records transcribed that you would be willing to donate to the Dubuque County Genealogy for online posting, please contact me. I am anxious to add more data to individual towns and townships. I am also looking for help walking cemeteries each summer so that this valuable information can be made available online.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
and follow these four simple steps.

• Please limit your request to ONE name per request.
• There is a subject line for each reference. Please put this in the subject line of your request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally deleted.
• In the first line of the message please put the name of the book you are requesting the lookup in.
• If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
• Feel free to request a look-up from the following books, etc.
