I’m willing to do lookups in the census for Fresno County from 1860-1930.  Please request that the requestor give me the name and state of the county as I do lookups for thousands of counties.  Also, the more information they can provide will be helpful.  Names, ages, kids, wives, etc.  I will not do lookups for people that send me blanket requests like “all Smith’s in the county”
