The following is a list of reference works on Lancashire that
volunteers are willing to search for specific entries. To ask for
a look-up, please click on the name by the reference. Requests should be specific: give
as much detail as you can. Abuses of the kindness of these
volunteers will probably cause them to withdraw their names so
please don't ask for all references to a common name, or for
time-consuming research. Volunteers may or may not be willing to
obtain copies of the relevant pages. If they are, expect to
reimburse expenses.
If you are new to the Look-up Exchange or unfamiliar with the records of the British Isles please visit the help page for vital information. Not only will you find the material extremely informative, but it will help you avoid wasting your own time, and that of our volunteers, on fruitless searches. The more you know, and the more specific you can be, the better we can help you. Blanket requests will almost certainly be met with "I'm sorry but...." Help us to help you - BE SPECIFIC. |

Many of the sources used for these lookups are the result of the dedication and hard work of a family history society. Many Family History Societies produce publications related to their county. You may want to consider purchasing your own copy of relevant resources to aid your research. You may also wish to consider supporting research in this area by joining the society. |
