Research Help
The Branch maintains an extensive
(and expanding) genealogical research
library called the Quinte Genealogy Centre located in
the Quinte West Public Library which is staffed by a group of experienced genealogy
volunteers, subject to availability. They assist visitors on-site and carry out research by
correspondence for those at a distance. Researchers can locate names
of possible interest to them in the library
holdings by searching our online
Names
Index Database.
Research Inquiries
A small fee is charged for research by correspondence to cover copying, postal and other costs. Quinte Branch members are entitled to one hour of research without charge. The Quinte Branch is a non-profit organization and revenue earned from research is used to improve services and expand the collection. When requesting help with your research you may search the
Names Index Database, compile a list of names you are interested
in and submit the list via the e-mail form. If inquiring by regular e-mail please include your name, postal address and membership number if applicable. Research fees can be paid via
PayPal or by cheque or money order.
