Three Cheers for the Volunteers!!
If you are writing one of the lookup volunteers requesting information,
please include "Newton County Look-up" as the subject line. Also, please
be as specific as you can (names, dates, places) regarding your request
and include THE NAME OF THE RESOURCE YOU WANT THE LOOK-UP FROM. Please,
only ONE surname/resource per request. Be patient - some of them DO have
lives outside of genealogy!! They will get back to you as soon as they
can. Also, remember to thank them for their time - they are VOLUNTEERS.

Cyndi's List of Lookup Services
Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
Volunteers may do unlimited lookups if and
only if:
1.The lookup volunteer is
the actual author and copyright holder of the publication.
2.The lookup volunteer is
using primary source documents ... whether they are treking to the courthouse
or using
their own xeroxed
copies of public domain documents.
3.The lookup volunteer has
written permission from the author / copyright holder to use their publication
for lookups
Volunteers may be able to make certain limited
scope lookups in copyrighted publications under the "fair use"
provisions of existing law.
Potential volunteers are encouraged to review
the explanations of copyright protection, especially the "fair use"
provisions, available elsewhere on the Web.
One such is located at http://www.usgenweb.org/volunteers/copyright.html
Rules for Lookup Requests
To request a lookup from any of the references, click on
the name of the owner and ask them politely. Remember,
they are volunteers
so they don't have to do this. Please remember to say thank you to the
volunteer.
Mention the name of the book in your message.
Our volunteers
aren't mind-readers &
they may not
remember which books they volunteered for.
Make your requests for lookup limited in scope.
"Tell me everything
about the Smiths" is probably too broad.
-- Researchers should not ask, nor may lookup volunteers offer, to violate copyright laws in responding to requests for lookups in any copyrighted material. --
If you haven't already read it, please go to the USGenWeb Copyrights FAQ Page and read it carefully before you request a lookup or volunteer to do lookups. This page has important information about copyright laws as they apply to the USGenWeb project.
