HELP CENTER

In an effort to help you find the answer quickly this page was created based on the many questions received over the years asking

Who Is Who...
Where Do I Find It...
How Do I...

Who has pages that will lead me to the information I want...

So... before you write me and wait for a reply I believe you will find your answer here.  

Many thanks for visiting OKGenWeb.

County Coordinators
HUNDREDS OF VOLUNTEERS
If you need to know something about a specific county, go straight to the local experts. These are the people familiar with aspects of the county, where records can be located and what is available.  Joining [free] a county mailing list is also another excellent way to find the answers. Members on the mailing list are also concentrating on that specific area and most members are very willing to help others.
