Look-Ups

Volunteers for Anderson County, Texas

Please consider being a Volunteer. Every little bit helps and sometimes just looking up a name in the phonebook or copying a paragraph from an old history book can help someone in a big way; you don't have to drive to the library or purchase expensive local histories to be a good volunteer. Just remember, volunteers are the backbone of genealogy research.

Volunteer Request Guidelines

Volunteer are people who have offered to donate their time and effort to do look ups. Please follow these guidelines when making a request of these people: 

  1. Unless otherwise listed, always make the subject of your message "Anderson County lookup request".
  2. Make the first line of your message 'Regarding: (name of the resource you wish the lookup made in)'.
  3. Limit your request to one or two names. After all, this is your research, not theirs.
  4. Give all the relevant background information they will need to help find your information. (But give only relevant information; don't waste their time.)
  5. State in advance how much expense, if any, they may incur on your behalf for postage, photocopies, courthouse search fees, etc. (I tell all volunteers not to release the information they have gathered for someone until after they have been reimbursed for all agreed-upon expenses.) 
  6. Give the volunteer YOUR contact information. (E-mail or postal address, phone number, etc.) Their time and effort is wasted if they don't know how to get the information to you.
  7. Most importantly, THANK the volunteer for their time and effort.
