CONTRIBUTING DATA
Thank you for considering contributing data to our volunteer-based website. Please take note of the following guidelines to ensure a smooth and efficient process before submitting application below:
1. Types of Data We We are Seeking for Database Inclusion:
- Census data
- Burial/cemetery records
- Vital records (marriage, birth, death)
- Military records
- Biographies from old Randolph County histories
- Old Randolph County histories
2. What We Prefer NOT to Accept:
- Family trees and gedcoms. These types of submissions will affect our database. Actually, there are very small exceptions, so these types of submissions are subject to approval.
- Pictures of obituaries or printed text unless it is very clear in JPEG or PNG format. You may be required to transcribe text for better search engine visibility.
- For counties outside of Randolph, we’d rather not accept Ancestral information unless it is crucial to our research. Focus on pictures pertaining to Randolph County Ancestors, and we may edit pictures for web suitability.
3. Data Ownership:

- If you request removal, please specify the data and its location. We’ll make reasonable efforts to remove it.
- If you copied data from another project’s website, we cannot accept it to comply with copyright laws.
4. Important Note:
- We are a privately owned website, and all Team Members are volunteers.
- We are in need for Volunteers to type up family data for contributors.
Your contribution is invaluable, and we appreciate your dedication to preserving historical records for the benefit of researchers and the community.
