* 1. Put name
of county and LOOKUP in caps in subject of message. This will ensure
that your request is not accidentally overlooked or deleted.
* 2. Put name of book or type of information you are requesting
the lookup from in the first line of the message. Many of these
wonderful volunteers have more than one book or CD and need to know
what you are looking for in order to try to help you.
* 3. Limit your request to 1 or 2 specific names. Asking for ALL
the marriages on a surname of Brown or Jones or Smith will probably
be ignored or request denied.
* 4. Don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time and trouble.
There is no charge for these look ups, however you may be asked to reimburse copy fees or other expenses if any are incurred. Any arrangements between you and a volunteer should be made prior to the volunteer incurring any expenses on your behalf. These arrangements are strictly between you and the individual volunteer and NJGenWeb will not be responsible for any disputes arising from these PRIVATE arrangements.
