Wiki Basics
Researchers -- General Guidelines

When making requests of volunteers:

  • Make requests specific -- avoid being too general.
  • Make requests ONLY for the volunteer's specified research areas. (Do not ask for out-of-area requests.)
  • Never ask more than one volunteer for the same request.
  • Ask the volunteer what reimbursements they require: copies, gas, parking, etc.
  • Negotiate an estimated completion time ... Remember: volunteers are not "on the clock," may research for multiple people, and respond reasonably as their time permits.

Note: If no volunteer exists for an area, Follow the page, for alerts of page changes.

(Also check the availability of ACPL microtext records (microfilm and microfiche).)

Essex Alexis Currier I can do some volunteer work in Essex County Massachusetts, mostly in Lynn, Salem, Peabody, Danvers. I can take pictures in cemeteries. I don't know if I can be of any other help, but I do use Ancestry.com, familysearch.org, fold3, americanancestors.org
Franklin Mark Fairbrother I would be active in the Greenfield/Montague area, but am willing to go to other towns in the area primarily for cemetery photos. I can do obituary look-ups at the Greenfield Public Library, and in nearby Town Halls for BMD records. If you give me solid information to work with, I can be flexible.
