READ THIS FIRST

This is a lookup service done strictly on a volunteer basis for
ONLY  the Irish-American Mailing List Subscribers. 

All requests must be for Ireland or the USA and the surname
must be of IRISH ethnicity. Remember--this is the Irish-American
Mailing List. 

Please keep your requests to one name and only one request per
day.  If you ask for more than one, 
only the first name will be recognized.

Requests should be specific--do not ask for general research. 
Also, please don't ask for all references to a common surname or
a time consuming research, otherwise, our volunteers will
withdraw from helping. 

Don't forget to read the source descriptions before making a 
request, to be sure you are aware of the information available for
that particular source. 

Any requests that are out of the above boundaries or not in the
scope offered, will not be considered nor will email be answered
or explanation given.
