Lookups

There are many Ross County resources available. If you own any Ross County books (or have access to), whether listed or not, and will provide reference information, please let me know. As you can see, volunteers are needed.

Lookup requests should be limited to one name, or perhaps two if it is a married couple. Information given will be minimal, for example if it is a cemetery lookup, the information will be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the headstone. Please do not ask for "everybody 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. Our 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 authors address and ordering information.

Feel free to request reference information from the following resources. Please limit your request to one name per request.

If you request information, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
