Union County Lookups

* If you own any Union County resources, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let me know.
* Feel free to request a look-up from the following resources. Please put UNION 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 from which you are requesting the lookup.

USGenWeb will not tolerate any copyright violations. Please do not ask for "everyone with X surname" or an entire family group, or for hardcopies to be mailed; the volunteers have been asked not to comply with such requests.

Lookups will extend to searching the book to determine if the book would be helpful to you in your research. Should the book prove useful, we can provide the author's address and ordering information. The USGenWeb Project will endeavor to get a WRITTEN statement from each copyright holder which stipulates which books may be used for lookups. If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
