Orange County Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers

This page lists many of the Orange County books that are available, although certainly not all. If you own any Orange County books, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let me know at charlie31141@comcast.net. As you can see, volunteers are needed.

Feel free to request a look-up from the following books. Please limit your request to one name per request. Please put ORANGE COUNTY LOOKUP in the subject line of your request to insure the message is not overlooked or accidentally deleted. In the first line of the message please put the name of the book you are requesting the lookup in.

IMPORTANT! Please do NOT ask for a blanket search of one surname, as in "all the SMITHs" in each census. This is very time-consuming for the volunteers. Be specific!

If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
