Volunteer Support 2009 Volunteer to Help

The DVHH Project always appreciates, and is in need of, those who can volunteer to work with us in any capacity.  Whether it be assisting with the preparation of materials to be published, answering email queries, starting a new village website, performing look ups, mentoring, serving on the administrative team, or any other ideas you have to share. We believe everyone has something they can offer. Come join our group of 'Helping Hands' and help us make our site even more helpful to fellow researchers. Just ask one of us!  Read more

Requesting Help

Our project volunteers are not professional genealogists, but many can provide you with the same information.  If you are looking for specific information regarding your family, or need assistance in your research, please subscribe to our mailing list sponsored by Rootsweb - DVHH-L Mailing List, administered by Roy Engel & Eve Brown.  Address your request to the entire list, and thereby increase your chances for better and faster results, and your message will be archived in the Rootsweb database.

Note: If you contact a volunteer privately, be patient if they do not respond as quickly as you want them to, they are busy helping others.

Check the regional section for your particular area of interest, and the lookups section to see if your needs can be met there, before contacting an advisor.  Please read "Posting an inquiry" before you send an email asking for assistance.

When sending an email, please contact a designated advisor by subject matter.   We do acknowledge and sympathize problems with spam, but as a courtesy, please  DO NOT expect a reply which will require an advisor to  submit a form to clear your spam acceptance program. 

Most important, if you receive a reply and are provided information, send a "thank you."  Please do not request information that you have previously received from someone else, to "double-check" your sources.  This is a waste of time for all concerned.  ~ Please see our Lookup Request Manners.
