Mercer County Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers

If you own any Mercer County reference books or other materials, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let me know. As you can see, volunteers are needed.

Please read the following before asking for a lookup:

USGenWeb does not wish to be party to 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. If you feel there is enough material in the book to warrant it, you may ask the volunteer how you might purchase your own copy.

If you see a book or other materials listed for lookups for which you hold the copyright, and you do not want it used, please notify the county coordinator and it will be removed.

LOOKUP VOLUNTEERS

When requesting a lookup from one of our volunteers, please:
1. Include your 'snail mail' address in the inquiry.
2. Put "Mercer County Lookup" in the subject line of your message.
3. Capitalize all surnames.

    I have a copy of a document written in July 1931 by Cornelia Jane Gibson about her family. It starts with Isaac SMALLEY and his wife Emma Jane MATTHEWS who were married on 7 Nov 1833 and works its way down. It includes: Smalley, Lowry, Combs, Gibson, Lathrop, Martin, Babcock, Reeves, Deyoe. I got this from a woman at the Mercer Co Genealogy Society. I can do look-ups.

    I have the 1880 U.S. Census on CD Rom and will be glad to do lookups for anyone who does not have access to the census. This is for the entire U.S. and has a national index, so I will be able to do lookups for other states as well as unknown states. Depending on how many requests I receive it may take some time, so be patient.
