Genealogy

Thank you for requesting our help in finding information about your family. We will do all we can to assist you in your search. However we must have certain information to do so. By providing the most complete information, we can achieve the best result for you.

We perform searches in our library only. We will give you the names of professional genealogists if you require information from other sources.

It usually takes four to six weeks for our reply to reach you. We respond to each request but cannot guarantee that we will find the information you seek.

You must send a stamped, self-addressed business sized envelope and a check for $10.00 for each surname you are requesting. (A surname is husband and wife. All other combinations are charged separately.)

The $10.00 fee will give you one hour of research by our genealogists in our library. It will also give you no more than five copies of any pertainent documents. Additional copies will be billed at 50 cents each.

If we find that the search time will exceed one hour, we will contact you before proceeding. Additional time is also charged at $10.00 per hour.

As noted above, we cannot guarantee results. The fee you pay is for the research and while many searches produce findings, some do not. Please understand that you may pay for a search that does not locate the information you are seeking.
