addresses, other addresses in case not online.

Request for Question Clarification by czh-ga on 22 Jun 2005 01:11 PDT

Hello dinesh_1234-ga,

You'll have much better luck with getting an answer if you post a
separate question for each country. The information you seek may be
available for some of these countries but not for others. The search
may be more difficult for some countries than others. Also, if you
post separate questions for each country, multiple researchers can be
working on your project at the same time. Some researchers may choose
to work on a particular country that they happen to be familiar with.

Also please note that this is a very large project. You're asking for
five types of records and four pieces of information about each (20
items) for each of eight countries. That's 160 pieces of information.
Researchers get 75% of the price of a question so this would come out
to less than $1 per piece of information.

As a first time poster I suggest that you review the following pages
to familiarize yourself with the workings of Google Answers so you can
size and price your projects to get the best possible results.
