Norfolk Lookup Exchange

This is the Norfolk part of the UK Look-up Exchange, where you will also find volunteers who will do lookups in the records for other counties, and some other countries.

Queries should not require extensive research, and the volunteers will judge how much work is needed to answer each one. They may reply that they cannot help, and that you need to employ a researcher. It is a private matter between you and the volunteer if you decide to employ him or her.

We cannot advertise the services of paid researchers.
