    Below is a list of volunteers who have offered to provide lookups in publications which they have in their personal collection or offer their services in other ways associated to genealogy research in Oktibbeha County.

    You may ask a volunteer to do a lookup for you but please keep these simple guidelines in mind:
      Donations Are Accepted for things that do cost the volunteers money out of their pockets like gas money to go to a cemetery, etc.

    • The lookup material is more-than-likely copyrighted, so please don't ask the volunteer to copy pages and mail them to you or to knowingly break copyright laws.
    • Please keep your lookup requests to 2 (two) per request.
    • Please allow the volunteer ample time (at least a week) to do your lookup.
    • Please give the volunteer the surname and first name in addition to as much information as you can to assist the volunteer in their search.
    • Please indicate which resource you want a lookup done.
    • Please allow the volunteer the chance to say "I can't right now." :-)
