Guidelines |
| Remember, the idea is short lookups.
Please keep this in mind; it's a free service, courtesy of our
volunteers. Please don't request or expect a volunteer to do a bunch
of actual research for you. |
| Be as specific as possible in your request and limit it to one or two
individuals or families. Please don't ask for something like all of
the SMITHs or JONESes on the 1900 census. |
| Be aware of the "Fair Use" provisions of the copyright
laws. Short lookups of publicly
available information are fine. However, the distribution of
photocopies or verbatim transcriptions of significantly large sections of
a work still under copyright protection without the author's permission is
a not allowed. |
| Be patient. The volunteers are often inundated with requests and
it may take some time for them to get to yours. |
| Don't forget to thank the volunteer for
taking the time to look up the information for you. |
