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 just "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. Volunteers will respond as quickly as possible.
