Look-Up Resources and Volunteers

Most adults possess the decorum to utilize a volunteer service without being rude or taking unfair advantage. I realize that most of us fall into that category, however, there are those nervy souls who would push the envelope. For that reason, I apologize for having to ask everyone to bear the following in mind when requesting a look up:

• Please remember these people are volunteering their materials and, more importantly, their time. Limit your request to one or two names. Please don't ask for "every 'Smith' you can find". (Yes, someone out there would have the audacity.)
• Remember that the authors and compilers of these materials have been gracious enough to grant permission for look-ups in their hard work. Do not take advantage of their generosity. Information provided will be minimal. You will be told whether or not the name was found in the resource and you will be given a date or other pertinent bare facts. The volunteer may alert you if it appears that the resource has an abundance of information on the line you are following. Do not expect details and in depth quoting of all information found. If the resource proves to be a gold mine of information on the line you are researching, ask the volunteer how you can purchase a copy of your own.
• Please do remember to acknowledge receipt of the look up information and thank our volunteers. They do have projects of their own on which to spend their time and energy.

Hart County is in need of more look up volunteers and materials. If you have a genealogical resource in your possession and would like to volunteer as a Hart County look-up person, we need your help! If you have authored a genealogical resource related to Hart County and would like to grant permission for that resource to be used for look-ups, bless you! Contact me at E-Mail for more information.
