Prince William Genealogical Society Books
Housed Here

I will do look-ups in any books, newsletters, et al held in the PWCGS's library collection (and also from my own collection) if given a specific name or short question and will answer as applicable. This is not intended to be complete research. I will copy a particular page or several pages but will not provide whole sections, chapters or books as that infringes copywrite laws. When a paper copy is necessary a charge of $0.10 per page plus postage will be accessed.
Questions can be posed by email to [email protected] with PWCGS Library Query in the subject line.
 
Society members living in the Prince William Co. area can borrow Society owned publications for the period of one month with a renewal of a second month by requesting me to bring the item to a monthly meeting or by making other mutually convenient pick-up/delivery arrangements.  My private collection is not for loan.
 
The list of items available for look-up and the number of persons who will offer their services may expand with time, so check back periodically for updates to the list.
