Please be good to those who are willing to do lookups. See note below. Thank you all. Rena ----- Original Message ----- From: Whitney McKim To: doreatr@rbnet.com Sent: Monday, April 21, 2008 11:57 AM Subject: Loudoun will/deed lookup I've received a few request for lookups, which is fantastic, but most people are just asking for "do you have any X name during those date ranges." And honestly, that's really not specific enough for me. Like many other counties, if you simply want to look up "Gordon" or "Thomas" for example, there are A LOT of Gordons and Thomases. I'm not able to provide deed information for all that exist in Loudoun. I MUST HAVE a First and a Last name and a SPECIFIC set of dates in order to do a lookup. Since I'm doing this on my own time and I do have 1 full time job as well as several other after work commitments, I simply do not have the time to look up entire surnames and print, scan, and email every deed/will that mentions those names. Can you please make it clear that lookups requesting only a surname for the entire date span of 1893-1958 will not be responded to? I just don't have the time or the resources to do this kind of look up work!!! I'm more than happy to help out if researchers have a more specific target. Thanks, Whitney McKim

And, kindly say thank you very much to these volunteers. I stopped volunteering on another list because of the rudeness and demands of some of the listers. Volunteers do this using their own time and personal resources. Thank you Whitney. And, I didn't ask for anything. Susan Rena Worthen wrote: > Please be good to those who are willing to do lookups.
