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 ...

Note: If no volunteer exists for an area, Follow the page, for alerts of page changes.

ALL	Art Suever	CITY DIRECTORIES and FAMILY HISTORIES Can help with family histories listed in the Allen Co. Public Library Genealogy Catalog (ACPL). If there is a listing for a book, provide me with a list of titles/call numbers, family surname(s), and what family information you're looking for. (Also check the availability of ACPL microtext records (microfilm and microfiche).) The ACPL is the foremost repository for city directories. I can research hard cover city directories found in the ACPL Genealogy Catalog or microfiche and microfilm city directories found in the ACPL microtext catalog. (Please specify city, date range needed, and person(s) of interest.) Note: I do not live in Louisiana ... I live in Allen Co., IN.
