Research Assistance Needed - Hancock County, Ohio

Your help will be appreciated! This is a total volunteer effort.

Individuals who coordinate the county pages for this project do so on their own time and certainly without any compensation. We do it out of a passion for genealogy. One of the requirements for each county is a provision for Look-Up's. Each coordinator must find volunteers to provide this service. I am asking you to help if you can.

If you have in your possession books, CD-ROM's or other materials that relate to Hancock County, Ohio and you would be willing to assist others in their Hancock County genealogy research by volunteering to do LOOK-UP's, please contact Dave Koester, Hancock County, Ohio coordinator.

How much time will you have to devote to this?

Only as much as you wish. First of all, you would not be expected to provide look-up information to just anyone. The look-up must relate to Hancock County, Ohio. The request would be e-mailed directly to you, and you can decide whether to answer the request. Generally, requests are limited to one or two requests at a time. That is a standard and would be listed as part of the guidelines for submitting requests.

Look-Up Requests

Please do not submit lookup requests to the County Coordinator for Hancock County.  I do not live in Hancock County and only have limited resources in my possession.  Below are individuals who have generously volunteered to look up certain information based on the resources they have available.  If you have questions please le me know.

When requesting a LOOK-UP, please use the following guidelines:

Limit your request to one surname or other item per submission and no more than two submissions a day. Send your lookup request to the e-mail address of the volunteer.

Please keep in mind that the individual you are asking for help from is a volunteer.  They do this work out of their passion for research and a desire to assist others.  To make their job easier, pleas follow the following instructions.  The KEY to submitting your request is for you to be as specific as possible.

Use the following format in submitting your request:

1. On the SUBJECT line, enter "LOOKUP" and "HANCOCK COUNTY"
2. On the first line of the message, enter the type of lookup, e.g. name, cemetery, birth record, obituary, etc.
3. You must include relevant information like dates, places or other information that will allow the volunteer to better understand your request.
4. On the subsequent line(s) of the message, describe exactly what information you are looking for.  This may be redundant - but the key is that you provide all the information that you know.
5. At the end of your message, please put your name, "snail mail" address and e-mail address for reply.
