HOW TO REQUEST A LOOKUP
To get the best possible result from our lookup volunteers, please take a moment to read these instructions. There are many new requests each day and posting a clear outline of your requirements will make it easier for them to help you.
If you could each please start a "New Topic" with subject line very clearly stating the RESOURCE and the SURNAME of the person(s) you are seeking as follows:
St Mary’s Parish Registers - PARR
Then in the body of the message enter the details of your request. A person willing to carry out a lookup for you will then simply reply to your message.
Please see the following guidance too for further information:
Copyright Guidance (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,104155.0.html/)
Further Lookup Tips (http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,51924.0.html/)
RootsChat does not tolerate breaches of copyright. Please do not request any lookups from specific commercial sources and other sources where fulfilling the request would require such a breach.
Very important bit !
We have some excellent RootsChat members with some very special talents who try there best to help everyone who posts a message on the site. I know of quite a few (you know who you are) who have gone out of their way and spent there own “brass” (money) in some cases just to bring a smile to RootsChatters face here and there.
A few of us who reply are often left thinking what happened next, did I help ???
Please let us know !
Regardless of whether or not the information helped,
a "Thank You for your time and efforts" always goes down well :) :)
... and the 'Thank you' also helps to let us know if the request is completed ;)
N.B. a "Thank you" sent in a PM is also nice, but it is a "Personal Message",
i.e nobody else knows that you have said "Thank you", so please, do reply on the topic.
(but you can still send a PM as well, if you wish; I'm sure it will be appreciated.)
COMPLETED REQUESTS
If your request has been completed then please use the modify button to add the word
*COMPLETED* to the titles of your final posting and your initial posting on your topic.
The moderators will then move the request to a Completed Requests board.
This helps to avoid wasting the time of the members who do the look-ups,
and makes the unanswered and on-going requests easier to find.
