Many of our friends have research material related to Channel Islands genealogy and have kindly offered to search this material in support of your research efforts. The following describes the available material and the applicable volunteers. If there are multiple volunteers, please spread your lookup requests around so none of them become overloaded.
Please remember that these are "volunteers". It is doubtful that they have the time to do extensive research so send them as much information as you can to make their search easier. Also, please be patient ... I am sure they will get to your queries as soon as possible but delays may be experienced depending on the time they have available to support others.

Dating old Jersey photos:
Richard Hemery has researched Jersey photographers and
studios, mainly from the period 1840 to 1914, and can assist in the dating of photos from this period if scans of the front and back
of the photos are provided.
A number of our friends who have fairly extensive information, but generally limited to their particular surnames, have offered their assistance. While providing entries for the Channel Islands Surname Interests list implies an offer to help others, I have listed these individuals below so others will be aware of what they have available.
