Guidelines for Lookup Requests
1. Please put DAVIESS COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line of your
request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally
deleted. In the first line of the message please put the name
of the book you are requesting the lookup in.
2. Please limit your request to one name per request. (Example:
John Smith, not anything on any Smiths) Please be specific with
your request!
Researchers
should not ask, nor should lookup volunteers offer, to violate
copyright laws in responding to requests for lookups in any copyrighted
material.
If you own any Daviess County books, maps or other resources, whether listed or not,
and will do look-ups, please email the webmaster at the address shown on the home page.
As you can see, volunteers are needed. If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
