Pocahontas Look Up Volunteers

The following people have volunteered to do lookups in their Pocahontas County resources as indicated.  As it has been quite some time, the emails may not work.  ~Karen 10/2016

Please provide as much information as possible about the surname / event you are researching. Please send more than an email that states "I'm looking for John Doe". Please try to provide a date range; town or township; wife or children's names; did they live on a farm or in town?

Many resources aren't indexed and it takes a while to do the research, especially when very little information is provided.

Please remember to be patient for your response and please ask the volunteers nicely and remember to thank the volunteer for their time and effort !

Please - do not request "everything you have about my family surname".
It is very time consuming researching these records and sending everything one has on one surname is just not practical.       Thank you.

When you email a volunteer please enter "Pocahontas Co Lookup" in the subject field because
your email may accidentally be deleted if Pocahontas Co Lookup is not in the subject field.
