The USGenWeb Project does not allow copyright violations. Lookup
requests should be limited to one or two names. Information given
will be minimal. For example in a cemetery lookup, the information
given will be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the
headstone. You may not ask for "everybody with X surname" or an
entire family group or for hardcopies to be mailed. The USGenWeb
Project volunteers have been asked not to comply with such requests.
Lookups can extend to searching the copyrighted material to determine
if the material would be helpful to the requester in their research.
Should the copyrighted material prove useful, the volunteer can
provide the author's address and ordering information.
