Please follow these guidelines when requesting a look-up: 

1.) Click on one of the lookup categories, below, and put thename of county, "RUSSELL", and the word "LOOKUP" in caps in subject of message.This will ensure that your request is not accidentally over-looked or deleted. 

2.) Please, BE SPECIFIC IN YOUR REQUESTS. Limit your request to 1 or 2 specific names. Asking for ALL the marriages on a surname of Brown, Jones or Smith will probably be ignored or result in the request being denied.
