If you're inclined to do a genealogical good deed, visit the query page on the Alameda County GenWeb site. You can click on the "Help for the Helpers" section and find some queries indexed according to the type of research requested: CADI lookups, obits, census lookups, etc. All you have to do is select a query, take it with you on your next trip to the library, and VOILA! you've met your MDR of Good Deeds. --Laurel Alameda County, California GenWeb Page http://www.katpher.com/alamecty/alamecty.htm
