La Plata County, Colorado Lookups

Resources - Reference Books - With Lookup Volunteers

I hope to list some of the many La Plata County resources that are available. If you own any La Plata County sources, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let me know.

AS YOU CAN SEE, VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED!

La Plata County Resources and Lookup Volunteers

Please follow these guidelines when requesting a look-up.

  1. Feel free to request a look-up from the following resources.Please put LA PLATA COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line of your request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally deleted.

  2. In the first line of the message please put the name of the book or resource from which you are requesting the lookup. Many of these wonderful volunteers have more than one book or CD and need to know what you are looking for in order to try to help you.

  3. Limit your request to 1 or 2 specific names. (NOTE) Asking for ALL the marriages on a surname of Brown, Jones or Smith will probably be set aside or request denied.

  4. Please do not forget to thank your volunteer for their time and trouble.

    ***** USGenWeb's Official Policy on Copyrighted Material *****

    USGenWeb will not tolerate any copyright violations. 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 dates on the headstone. Please do not ask for "everyone 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.

    The USGenWeb Project will endeavor to get a WRITTEN statement from each copyright holder which stipulates which books may be used for lookups.

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