1. Do your homework; find as much information as you can from
your location.
2. Provide adequate and clear information, names, dates,
location. Please do not include information (or family stories) that
will not add to the research process.
3. Ask clear and precise questions, not "anything you can find".
4. Send or include money for copies and any other expenses.
5. Keep the copyright laws in mind; do not ask anyone to abuse
them.
6. Be patient. Sometimes our schedules are not what we would
like them to be.
7. Volunteers will respond as quickly as possible.
