REFERENCES AND LOOK-UP VOLUNTEERS
Guidelines
when asking for help from Bergen County Lookup Volunteers
- Note: This list of volunteers has not
been updated since 2002. Please contact Bergen County Volunteer
Coordinator & Webmaster, Denise Wells [contact
me by email] immediately if the email address does not work,
if you are a volunteer who no longer wishes to offer this service,
or if you are a volunteer who is willing to perform a look up
in any source relating to Bergen County, NEw Jersey.
- To request a lookup
for any of the references, click on the address of the look-up
volunteer and ask them politely.
IMPORTANT...Please put LOOKUP-BERGEN
COUNTY in the
subject line. This will ensure that your request is not accidentally
overlooked or deleted.
- Be sure to include
the name of book or CD you are requesting the lookup from in
your message. Don't forget to sign your email message.
- Limit your request
to 1 or 2 specific names. For example, do not ask for ALL the
marriages on a surname; otherwise, your request will probably
be ignored or denied.
- Don't forget to
say "thank you" to your look-up volunteer for their
time and trouble.

With over twenty years experience, it is my good fortune to provide
professional family research in connection with New Jersey records,
including, but not limited to, vitals, church, cemetery, land,
probate, court, etc. Extended services are (1) house history
research; (2) problem solving; (3) interviewing a relative or
family friend; (4) photographing gravesites; and (5) suggested
reading. If you would like to discuss your research and receive
an Information/Bio sheet, just let me know. It would be my pleasure
to assist you in whatever way possible to try and uncover information
regarding that elusive ancestor you've been trying to find for
so long. And that's a wonderful way to be good to yourself! Bye
for now, Bea. |

Passenger Ship Manifests, military records of the Revolutionary
War, War of 1812, Mexican War and Civil War, as well as a host
of other primary sources at the National Archives, such as: Documents

1850-1880 (Federal) Military Service Records, 1775-1903 Military
Pensions, 1775-1916 Pension Application Files of Remarried Widows

------------------------------------ I can provide service to
those who would like such information (photocopies of available
original documents, records, or otherwise) at reasonable rates
as I live in Washington, DC and have ready access to information
in the U.S. National Archives, much of which is not available
in county, state, or even regional national archives. There are
no legal concerns about copyrighted material because the information
in the National Archives is in the public domain for all the
American people |
