Volunteer Look-Ups
This page represents generous people who have offered to do free look-up information.
Please restrict your requests to no more than two persons per request. Our Volunteers are not "people who do this as a profession, but do it to assist people with their Lanark County roots", through their good graces.
Please be polite and kind to these wonderful people.
Keep your inquiries short, to the point, and make sure that you read the comments column carefully, and provide enough information as to what you are looking for and where were the people located at the time in Lanark County.
