Is there a volunteer that can assist me with a research problem? Thank you.

Post the "Details" [ ie. Name; Place; and, circumstances; plus, PID, of the individual/person ] here.

Maybe be another User/Patron in the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum, MAY be able to help/suggest/assist you; or, direct you to someone or somewhere, that can help/suggest/assist.

Hi, Lolah. This is a very tough time period to work with as folks were really moving around a lot and recordkeeping was very haphazard. We have all encountered problems finding any "official" information. In addition to providing more details here, you might want to schedule a free, 20-minute consultation with personnel from the Family History Library. Here is a link to the Wiki article that explains what you can expect and how to schedule an appointment.

@Lolah Diane James_3 Hi, Lolah, I noticed your question today, and wondered if you got the help you were looking for back on May 1? Please review this link to see if there are other ways you can access help with respect to your research. Where can I get help with my genealogy?

•  from beginner to advanced researcher.
• FamilySearch community groups give you access to research experts who are willing and ready to offer free assistance and share resources. You can find these groups on Facebook and in the FamilySearch Community.
• We often publish articles about research and many other family history topics on our blog.
• You can find local, in-person help at a family history center. They are located worldwide, and you may find one near you.
• If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, visit the FamilySearch Help Center to see who your local temple and family history consultants are.

Many other organizations also offer help. Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness (RAOGK), for example, is a global volunteer organization where you can make requests for help with research tasks.
