Lookup Volunteers

If you have Eastern Township material at home, please consider doing lookup's for others. I will be happy to list whatever those books, films, notes, etc might be. Again, I ask that the resources be pertaining to English speaking settlers and families within the Eastern Townships: Brome, Compton, Missisquoi, Shefford, Stanstead, Sherbrooke, Richmond, Megantic, Drummond, Arthabaska or Wolfe Counties.

I also ask researchers who would like to enlist the help of these volunteers to remember just that - These people have VOLUNTEERED to help others. Do not expect immediate response, and be very specific in your requests. DO NOT request a listing of all SMITHS in the 1825 census, etc ! If you are not specific enough, so that the time involved on the volunteer's part is kept to a minimum, your request will not be filled.

Several volunteers are rather frustrated by requests being made. They cannot offer pages and pages of info. There are copyright issues here! Be reasonable about a "Lookup".

Willing to help with research of any BROME COUNTY families.

Wills in Stanstead County - Leslie has offered to check on a specific name within the index. If the name is found, Leslie is willing to drive to the Registry Office (about 20 miles away) and check on that Will. Please keep in mind, that THIS part of the service CANNOT be complimentary, as the Registry charges $5.00 per hour to research there. I would also expect that a small fee should be added on as well, towards gas, but that , of course, would be between you and Leslie. Let's remember though, just how valuable our volunteers are! Thank you, Leslie.
