As coordinator of the Hamilton Co., OHGenWeb site, often I receive e-mail from individuals seeking someone local who is willing to obtain copies of documents, take pictures at a cemetery or do research locally for them. I know in my own research how difficult it is to find someone who can assist me in obtaining records in counties or states I may never have the opportunity to visit & explore myself or I may not have an exact reference to write to the local courthouse, recorders office, etc. We've always had a page listing volunteers willing to do Look-ups in resources they own, but not a place to list individuals who might be willing to copy an obituary at the library, obtain a copy of a marriage record from Probate, a specific deed at the Recorder's office, take pictures at a cemetery, just to mention a few. The Hamilton Co. Genealogical Society website does have a page for Research Services which includes not only what research they will do and the cost, and also a listing of "Paid Researchers". I realize there may also be individuals who are willing to assist someone by obtaining copies at the courthouse, library etc. or taking pictures, whether if be for "free", "expense" incurred, or even a specific "fee", not just those who consider themselves Professional Researchers. Perhaps someone who frequents the library or courthouse or lives near a cemetery. With this in mind, I set up a new section of the website hoping to list those individuals whom others can contact for assistance. My only problem is, I don't have anyone to list. If there is anyone interested, please contact me offlist [email protected] You can find the new page I set up here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohhamilt/researchers.html Of course, it's under construction & subject to change as needed! Suggestions welcome as well :-) Thanks, Linda Boorom Hamilton Co. OHGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ohhamilt/mnpg.html
