***!!Volunteers Urgently Needed!!***
Can you help?
Please e-mail Kaye if you are willing to add your name to this list.
This list can only be successful with your generous help and co-operation.
Give the full titles of any reference you are prepared to check.
Suitable items would include tax lists, electoral rolls, directories, census
indexes, parish registers, memorial inscriptions, etc., etc.
Please advise of any broken or outdated links. Thanks.
The following is a list of reference works on Cheshire which
volunteers are willing to search for specific entries. To ask for a look-up,
please click on the name by the reference. Requests
should be specific: give as much relevant
detail as you can, without telling your full story with subsequent irrelevant
detail. Abuses of the
kindness of these volunteers will probably cause them to withdraw their names so
please don't ask for all references to a common name, or for time-consuming
research, or for dates outside the ranges listed. Volunteers may or may not be
able to obtain copies of the relevant
pages. If they are, expect to reimburse expenses. "Blanket" requests (e.g. "any baptisms in the name of
SMITH"!) will almost certainly be met with "I'm
sorry but....". Help us to help you - BE SPECIFIC.
To ensure that your
message receives prompt attention please use the words Cheshire
Look-ups in your subject line and quote the source you would like
the volunteer to look at. Many volunteers
work on several projects at once and it can be hard for them to try and guess
which one you are responding to. Failure to do so could result in your request
being overlooked.
Many of the sources used for these lookups are the result of the dedication and hard work of a Family History Society. Many Family History Societies produce publications related to their county. You may want to consider purchasing your own copy of relevant resources to aid your research. You may also wish to consider supporting research in this area by joining the society or volunteering to do look ups yourself.
