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.)

Aberdeenshire Sofie J I can do lookups for England and Wales BMDs, 1841 through to 1911 English and Welsh censuses, English military, various other English records as well as very minor American, Canadian and Australian research. I can do physical look-ups for people wanting records in Leeds , West Yorkshire very occasionally. I can also help beginner’s with starting their research. However even though I live in Scotland I can’t access a lot of Scottish records.
