Boyle County Lookups

The following individuals have generously volunteered to do lookups from these Boyle County resources. Please remember that these resources are copyrighted works in most instances, and the volunteers are required to adhere to "fair use" standards. This means that the lookup can be for one name, or perhaps two, if it is a married couple.

The information provided will be minimal, for example, if it is a cemetery lookup, the information will be the name of the cemetery and the dates on the headstone. Please do not ask for "everybody with X surname" or an entire family group, or for hardcopies to be mailed; the volunteers have been asked not to comply with such requests.

The lookups may extend to searching the book to determine if the book would be helpful to you in your research. Should the book prove useful, they can provide the author's name and usually the address.

I have listed some of the Boyle County books that are available, although certainly not all. When requesting a lookup, please put Boyle County Lookup as the subject of the message, and be sure to indicate which book you want the lookup from. Again, each lookup request should be for 1 or possibly 2 names only.
