Polk County, Missouri: Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers
Polk County, Missouri: 
If you own any Polk County books, whether listed or
not, and will do look-ups, please let me know @ 
As you can see, volunteers are needed!!
Feel free to request a look-up from the following resources. Please limit your request to one name per request. Please put Polk 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 from which you are requesting the lookup.
If you request a lookup, don't forget to thank your volunteer for their time.
The Fair Use copyright policy allows our lookup volunteers to do minimal lookups on copyrighted publications. Please don't abuse this privilege by asking for more. If you find that a publication has a lot more information than a Look-up can provide, your local bookstore should be able to order the book for you.
