General Guidelines

When making requests of volunteers:

  • Make requests specific -- avoid being too general.
  • Make requests ONLY for the volunteer's specified research areas. (Do not ask for out-of-area requests.)
  • Never ask more than one volunteer for the same request.
  • Ask the volunteer what reimbursements they require: copies, gas, parking, etc.
  • Negotiate an estimated completion time ... Remember: volunteers are not "on the clock," may research for multiple people, and respond reasonably as their time permits.

Note: If no volunteer exists for an area, Follow the page for alerts of page changes. (Requires a wiki account.) Create a wiki account here.

  • check back again. (New volunteers sign up daily.)
  • join the FB RAOGK groups -- RAOGK USA and/or RAOGK International and post your research request. (One of the group members may live in that area and be willing to help.)

Winnipeg Lianne XXX I can do a variety of lookups within Winnipeg. These include:
  • Photographing and transcribing tombstones
Note:Please provide as much information as possible! I cannot search for the tombstone of a person buried "somewhere in Winnipeg". I can search a whole cemetery, but it would be faster if you could narrow it down. :)
  • Lookups in the Winnipeg Free Press archive
  • Lookups in books that you know to be in the Local History Room at the Millenium Library

I do not require compensation for gas, etc., because I don't have a car, so the worst cost would be a bus ticket, which I don't mind. :) Usually I ride my bike, anyway. Access to the Winnipeg Free Press archives and the Local History Room are free for library card holders like myself, so there's no cost associated with that, either. I just want you to pay it forward! (OMG I love that movie. *sniffles*)
Note: I've noticed that there are several other volunteers here who also photograph Winnipeg tombstones. So, while I can cover cemeteries anywhere in Winnipeg, I hereby declare myself the St. Boniface person! :) I live in the St. Boniface area, so cemeteries in that area are my favourites. If you don't know which ones those are, a general rule is that the ones in St. B are all Roman Catholic.
