PERSI LOOK UPS
The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogical and historical periodical articles in the world. PERSI is a comprehensive subject index covering genealogy and local history periodicals written in English and French (Canada) since 1800. The time period of the articles ranges from the 1700s to the present. More than 1.8 million index entries from nearly ten thousand titles are represented by this work. If you would like a look up I have a list of the articles email the name of the person or persons you would like me to look up and I will see if there is an article for them. These articles can be about anything.

Free West Virginia Vital Records Look up
I will do free lookups from the West Virginia death, births, marriages records. If a record is found, at your request, I will obtain a copy of the any certificate for a very small charge. Death certificates normally include birth and death date, birth and death place, parents names (mother's maiden name), cause of death, place of burial, and more. They are invaluable to anyone seeking their ancestors. When doing our genealogy research, it is important to obtain death records, not only for our direct ancestor; but, also for their siblings, since their parents are the same. email me. Please put "WV Vital Records" in the subject line of your message. Include birth and death date (if known) of the person you would like me to check these records for. Also, inlcude county, if known. If this is a marriage please included both names if known.
Revolutionary War Lookups
Do you have an ancestor that fought in the Revolutionary War? Most of us have at least one ancestor who fought. If you had an ancestor who fought, or whom you think may have fought, feel free to let me know. I will check the pension records at no charge, to see if they drew a pension for their service. These Revolutionary War pension files are generally full of great data; and can include such things as birth date and place, when and where enlisted or drafted, when and where married, spouse and children's names, etc. Often times these pension files are 50 pages or more. If I find your ancestor received a pension, at your request; and, for a small fee, I can get the complete pension file for you. For a free look-up from the Rev. War Pensions, email me. Please put "Revolutionary War Pension lookup" in the subject line of your email. Provide any known details of the person whom you want me to check for, such as place of birth, places of residence, spouse's name, and birth date (or approximate) if known.

Great new Genealogy website!
Footnote was launched in January of 2007. They offer several original documents, such as Revolutionary War Pension files, Civil War Pension Index, they offer a free basic membership, as well as a paid membership. They also have images of many naturalization records, birth and death records, I think you owe it to yourself to check out this website. This site is quickly becoming a huge hit among genealogists and historians.

Georgia Death Certificates
I will do free lookups from the Georgia death records 1914-1927. If a death record is found, at your request, I will obtain a copy of the death certificate for a very small charge. Death certificates normally include birth and death date, birth and death place, parents names (mother's maiden name), cause of death, place of burial, and more. They are invaluable to anyone seeking their ancestors. When doing our genealogy research, it is important to obtain death records, not only for our direct ancestor; but, also for their siblings, since their parents are the same. I have seen far too many folks who don't think to obtain death certificates for the siblings of their ancestors. email me. Please put "GA Death Records" in the subject line of your message. Include birth and death date (if known) of the person you would like me to check these records for. Also, inlcude county of death, if known.
