Feel free to request a look-up from the following resources. Please limit your request to one or two names per request. In the first line of the message please put the name of the book from which you are requesting the lookup.
If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time. Note: Most of those doing look-ups do not live in Monroe Co they just have an interest in the area.
The Fair Use copyright policy allows our lookup volunteers to do minimal lookups on copyrighted publications. Please don't abuse this privledge by asking for more. If you find that a publication has alot more information than a Look-up can provide, your local bookstore should be able to order the book for you.
Is there anyone who has any of these books and is willing to do lookups? If so, please let me know and I'll add your name to the appropiate book. Thanks from me and all those that you will be assisting!
