Tulare County Reference Books and Lookup Volunteers

I have listed many of the Tulare County books that are available, although certainly not all. If you own any Tulare County books, whether listed or not, and will do look-ups, please let me know. As you can see, volunteers are needed.

Indexs have been created for each biographical work for the county. The names of the individuals are listed in alphabetical order with the page reference to the cited work. If you wish to add your name as a person researching that particular person or line please contact me with the name of the book, the name of the person and page cite together with your e-mail address to Steve Williams. I will add your name and e-mail address into the "Researcher" column. Similar lists can be found for other counties at California County Biographical Indexes which is part of the California Pioneer Project.

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