Today I was told about this site. Looks very interesting to me.

This is a little information on the site....and the nice part is you and I
may be able to do such a favor in return...check out the sitel

The name of the site is:

Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. Originally begun by two researchers who
saw the need for such a service in their region. This small site grew very
rapidly from just a statewide service to an international one.
Many Internet researchers give of themselves unselfishly in aiding others in
their research. This project expands on this premise by going one step further:
The 4599 volunteers of this movement have agreed at least once per month to
do a research task in their local area as an act of kindness. The cost to you
would be reimbursing the volunteer for his expenses in fulfilling your request
(video tape, copy fees, etc.). This is not a FREE service.
Successful genealogical research is based upon people helping people. Our
volunteers unselfishly provide information available in their area to those who
live far away.
We ask that you return to this site after being helped in order to return the
favor in YOUR home area to someone else!
If just one person volunteers from each county in the United States, and from
other countries, once per month, researchers everywhere will benefit
tremendously!

Copy and paste if this site is not activated....it may be just what you have
been looking for.
