JGSGB Library look-up service

In case you missed the item in the October Newsletter, we have put together a list of the reference books and records which are normally available in our Library but which Library volunteers have at home.

If you would like one of the volunteers to do a look-up for you from one of the volumes listed below, please e-mail library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk and we will arrange for this to be done.

Please ensure that you provide sufficient information to enable the volunteer to do a search, e.g. for a marriage record, specify which record, the name of the person and a date range.

If you believe that you have volumes which are not listed below and might be helpful for researchers, please let us know at library-lookups@jgsgb.org.uk.

Secretary, JGSGB
