A new look-up reference was added on 29 Mar 2003

Would you like to help? I am looking for volunteer transcribers. I have, in my possession, 9 rolls of Microfilm, representing various Washtenaw County, MI records of interest. If you have the availability of viewing this film and would like to transcribe some of these records, please let Denise Frederick know and I'll send you the details. Please place "Volunteer Transcriber for Washtenaw" in the subject line. Thanks.

If you own any Washtenaw County books, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let Denise Frederick know. As you can see, volunteers are needed!!

Feel free to request a look-up from the following resources. Just click on the highlighted email address.

If you request a lookup, please thank your volunteer for their time.

The Fair Use copyright policy allows our lookup volunteers to do minimal look-ups on copyrighted publications. Please don't abuse this privilege by asking for more. If you find that a publication has more information than a Look-up can provide, your local bookstore should be able to order the book for you.

Directions: Please place the name of the book or document in the SUBJECT line of your email, so the researcher knows which lookup you need.
