The people listed below have graciously volunteered to do look ups from the books listed by their names. Please address the message to them and put SUBJECT: CHOWAN CO. LOOKUP. Don't forget to say "thanks" to the person who helps you.
USGenWeb's Official Policy
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 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 useful, we can provide the author's address and ordering information.
