Look up Volunteers

These folks are volunteers, please be courteous and respectful of their time and follow the rules of "Look-up Etiquette", we don't want to lose our volunteers. If you have access to information that may help a researcher, please volunteer to help.

Look-up Rules:
1. ONE look-up per email
2. Do not ask for "any information", be specific about what you want.
3. Do not ask the volunteer to search outside the references he has volunteered to search.

We don't have any volunteers at this time.

Victoria County Genealogical Society volunteers now offer a new service for lookups

VCSG volunteers will receive your query for lookups from Victoria County, Texas. We have at our disposal the following resources at no charge if sent by email. If the information needs to be sent by mail there is a cost of 25 cents per copy plus postage:
  • Victoria County Cemeteries Vol. I, II & III

VCG volunteers will do look-ups and limited research in our local library for a donation of $10 per hour. We will not go over an hour without instructions to do so. Photocopies are 25 cents each, plus postage. There is no charge for an unsuccessful search.
For a lookup of an obituary where you have the date of death, or very nearly the correct date: a donation of $5.00 for a copy of the obituary.
For a lookup of an obituary where you have the month and year: a donation of $7.00 for a copy of the obituary.
Lookups of obituaries where the month and year aren't supplied will not be done.
