Look-up and Research Services
I'm attempting to start up a successful new look-up
section for Boone County Genealogy. If you have anything to
offer or more ideas, please let me know. If you are a member
of one of the genealogical societies or affiliated with the
local libraries, and would like me to spotlight your
genealogy services or departments, I'd be happy to do so.
People in
the same boat should help each other.

Look-up Services
- Guidelines:
- Please respect the valuable time the Volunteer
is offering you and refer to these guidelines before
requesting look-ups.
- Please be specific with your request, ie; type
of record you're seeking; will, probate, obituary, etc.
- Provide the full name, complete or approximate
dates/timeframe, any other helpful information to
help find the record.
- Limit look-ups to one or two individuals per
request, and not to include living individuals.
- Volunteers are not expected to perform general
lengthy genealogical research services, such as, "everything you
can find on the Smith family," etc. However, these
research services might be offered through some of
the Genealogical
Societies or private professional
genealogists for a fee.
- Look-up services are genealogical in nature, and
generally do not include seeking information, data
or records for living individuals.
- Prepare to reimburse the Volunteer if copy or
postage fees are necessary.
- Put "Boone County Look-up Request" in your email
header to avoid confusion.
- Please remember to thank our volunteers for the
generous service they provide!
- Please note, this is a volunteer look-up service
where Boone County Genealogy is only providing
contact information for your convenience. All
arrangements and agreements are made entirely
between you and the Volunteer.
Look-Up Volunteers
-
Jeany Garrison
Roark
Jeany has graciously volunteered to do
record look-ups at the Boone County Courthouse and
digital photographs of Boone County cemetery headstones.
She does request full name and complete dates if you
require obituary look-ups, due to the difficulty and length
of time it takes searching microfilm with no name indexes.
She also requests that you please do not ask her to seek
information or records for living individuals.
Volunteer email registered December 7, 2006
- We Need More Volunteers! We currently do not have
any other look-up volunteers for Boone County INGenWeb.
Unfortunately, all of our previous volunteers have
changed their email addresses and have not updated their
information with us, or didn't respond to my query in
August 2006. If you are a former look-up volunteer and
would like to continue, please send me your current
contact information. If you would like to newly join us
and generously volunteer your services, we'd be very
happy to add your name on the list for this very popular
service project. Individuals that own old Boone County
reference books and materials that can do look-ups are
very much needed. Please only use materials in a way
that would not infringe on a
copyright, or only use those that are in the
public domain. This
article also gives good information explaining
copyrights and fair-use.
Gravestone Photographs
-
Jeany Garrison
Roark
Jeany has generously volunteered to take
digital photographs of Boone County cemeteries,
headstones, etc. Please provide her with complete name
and burial location, if known. Please be aware that the
weather in Indiana might make it impossible to
photograph cemeteries at certain times of the year.
Volunteer email registered December 7, 2006
- More Volunteer Photographers Needed! Another very
popular service that is very much appreciated by
researchers, is having the ability to obtain a
photograph of their ancestor's gravestone. Often
descendants live a great distance from the graves of
their ancestors and may never have the opportunity to
visit the cemetery where they are buried. Do you live in
or near Boone County? Can you donate an hour or two a
month to take photographs of gravestones? Please
consider volunteering! You could then provide one
digital copy to the researcher, and a second copy could
be posted here on the website in the new photo album. Of
course your credits will be shown and remain with the
photograph!
Look-Up Resource Links - Off-site
-
Genealogy Look Up Forum - Off-site - This website on
RootsWeb provides a listing of volunteers nationwide who
offer free look-up services for most genealogical
requests. You can click a link for every state to find a
volunteer in the area you seek information for.
Currently (as of December, 2006) there weren't many
volunteer look-up services being offered specifically
for Boone County, Indiana. However, they urge
researchers to check back often as new volunteers
register frequently. (Link added 12/18/2006)
