In order to be sure your request gets answered, please follow these instructions.

1. Click on the look-up volunteer's name to request a look-up in the source they have volunteered for.  Please do NOT ask the look-up volunteer to do a look-up in a source they have not volunteered for.  This includes do not ask the volunteer to go to the library to do your research for you and do not send your look-up request to the coordinator (she does not have copies of the records and cannot answer the requests).
2. Put "Kaufman Co. Look-up" in the subject line of the message.
3. On the first line of the message, put the title of the source you are requesting the look-up in.  Ask only for a look-up in one (1) specific source (EACH marriage book and EACH cemetery are a separate source; asking for a look-up in "all of the cemeteries" or "all of the marriage records" is NOT acceptable).  Remember you must specify which particular source you would like the look-up in.
4. Ask only for a look-up for 1 or 2 people (not for all of the people with a specific surname).
5. Do NOT ask the look-up volunteer to send photocopies of pages from the book nor for a large amount of information from the book.
6. Please do not ask more than one volunteer to do the same look-up for you at the same time.
7. Do not submit more than one request at a time (wait for the response from one request before submitting another).  Wait for several days before resubmitting the same request; the volunteer may be unable to answer your request immediately.  Do not assume your request was lost until you have waited 2 weeks for a reply.
8. Please remember that the volunteers have graciously offered to do these look-ups.  They are not paid or otherwise obligated to volunteer to do look-ups so please do not take them for granted and remember to let them know you appreciate their help.
