Limitations and copyright issues
The USGenWeb Project will not tolerate any copyright violations. Lookup requests should be limited to one name, or perhaps two if it is a married couple. Information given should be minimal, for example:
If it is a cemetery lookup, the information should be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the headstone. If someone asks for "everybody with X surname" or an entire family group, or for hard copies to be mailed, please advise that The USGenWeb Project volunteers have been asked not to comply with such requests.
Lookups can extend to searching the copyrighted material to determine if the material would be helpful to the requester in their research. Should the copyrighted material prove useful, the volunteer can provide the author's address and ordering information.
More information about USGenWeb copyright rules can be found here.
The resources listed below comprise both volunteers and professionals. The obvious difference: one is for for free and one isn't. Both are listed here in the event your circumstance warrants one or the other.
There is NO implied endorsement of the professional services listed here. Any references can be removed from this site if they are causing problems.
