In some ways I agree to the "not doing lookups". I live a six-hour drive from
my counties (as Betty does), which makes lookups for us very inconvenient.
Betty and I both try to involve locals to help with lookups, but IMHO (in my
humble opinion) placing as much real genealogical information (census records,
cemetery surveys, etc.) on the web site would not necessitate lookups.
I have done lookups for people when I get into the area, but like you Jim, I
don't make promises and warn that it might take "forever". <smile>
