Hi list, I don't know if this is acceptable behavior for a list member, but I got a surprise this afternoon. Being a volunteer for the Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for Rootsweb for the state of Iowa, I was really surprised when I was going to ask for help from Luzerne Co., and there is only 1 volunteer from that county. The last time I was there, there were at least 4-5. Where did you all go???? It is a really wonderful program that really helps out the out of state people. We all know how much it costs sometimes for information we send for and then we wait and wait and wait sometimes for months to get the answer. You shouldn't have to wait more than a month on RAOGK to get an answer. I have five queries on my desk right now to check on and have answered many in the past. So if anyone feels they have an hour or 2 a month that they will probably be in the courthouse or cemetery anyway and you could look for one other persons info, Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness I'm sure would be pleased to have you sign up. I have no affiliation with them other than being a volunteer, but I really enjoy helping out other people. You can list behind your name what kind of lookups you will do. If you have an extensive library , cemetery, photo's in cemeteries, courthouses, whatever you feel you can do would be great. Please visit, http://www.rootsweb.com and go to the section that says Hosted Volunteer Genealogy Projects and you will see it there and sign up today. Thanks for letting me speak my piece and I hope I don't have to leave the best list in cyber space for doing so. Deb RINEHIMER KOHL Hamilton Co, IA Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness
