USGenWeb Official Lookup Policy
USGenWeb will not tolerate any copyright violations. Lookup requests should be limited to one to three names. Information given may be minimal, for example if it is a cemetery lookup, the information will be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the headstone. Please do not ask for "everybody 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 itself 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 sued for lookups.
USGenWeb, ILGenWeb and Ogle County USGenWeb policy prohibits lookup volunteers from infringing on copyrights, so please do not ask for large quantities of information, information on multiple people, or photocopies of pages from copyrighted books. You may review the USGenWeb policy on copyright issues at: http://www.usgenweb.net/volunteers/copyright.html If you see a book listed for lookups that you hold the copyright to and do not want it used, please contact the ILGenWeb State coordinator and/or the county coordinator.
- Put OGLE COUNTY LOOKUP in caps in subject of message. This will ensure that your request is not accidentally overlooked or deleted.
- Put the name of the document you are requesting the lookup from in the first line of the message.
- Limit your request to one or two specific names. Asking for ALL the marriages on a surname will probably be ignored or the request could be denied.
- Limit your request to no more than 3 names per email. Remember YOU are not the only one wanting answers and help.
- Don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time and effort.
