Lookup Volunteers, Reference Books & Publications 

To request a lookup from any of the references, click on the name and ask them politely. Please be specific in your request. Asking for all the Smiths listed is a little too general. Also, to help the researchers, who no doubt get lots of requests and belong to several mailing lists, please put "Marion County, IL Lookup" in the subject line of your e-mail. There is less chance it will be overlooked that way.  Remember to be kind and courteous. After all, they are doing this as a volunteer service to you.   If any of the emails do not work, contact me.  They will be deleted.

When emailing please specify in subject line "Census Lookup and the YEAR in which you want me to search".  We only do ONE year and ONE family at a time; first and last name please.
