Norfolk Lookup Exchange

Hide
A group of volunteers has offered to do lookups and to help with simple queries about family history in the county of Norfolk. Their names and specialities are shown below.
There is also a list of Norfolk Reciprocal Researchers
and Lookups in Norfolk One Name Surname Studies.
This is the Norfolk part of the UK Look-up Exchange, where you will also find volunteers who will do lookups in the records for other counties, and some other countries.
Composing your Query
Please send one query per email message, say which place, index, book, etc, that your query refers to, and say that you found the volunteer's name on the Norfolk Lookup Exchange. Remember that you may not get an immediate reply, as people may be on holiday, have family commitments, etc.
Queries should not require extensive research, and the volunteers will judge how much work is needed to answer each one. They may reply that they cannot help, and that you need to employ a researcher. It is a private matter between you and the volunteer if you decide to employ him or her.
Sending your Thanks
The volunteers appreciate it if you acknowledge receipt of the information that they send to you. Whether your request was for a simple lookup, or for something more extensive, please remember to thank them.
Joining the Volunteers
More people are always welcome to join the volunteers. If you would like to help with lookups, please contact me. You choose your own topics, and they can be general or very specific. Examples are transcripts of parish registers, microfiche of the originals, directories, censuses, parish histories, registers of electors, etc. There is always the possibility that a distant relative will contact you.
We cannot advertise the services of paid researchers.
