RESEARCH OF MADISON COUNTY FAMILIES AND HISTORY
Research Services: These guidelines explain how we conduct research for others:
 |
We only research Madison County, Indiana families or questions about historical data in our County. |
 |
There is a basic charge of Ten Dollars ($10.00), payable in advance, by either check or money order, for which you may request up to either 3 surnames or 3 items to be searched. The fee is payable whether or not anything is found. |
|
In addition to the basic fee, extra charges are assessed for copies: Twenty-five cents ($0.25) per copy for each 8x10 Xerox or microfilm/fiches page; and Fifty cents ($0.50) per copy for each page sized 11 x 17. |
|
If governmental applications for information are required, they will be forwarded to you since most require an ID or a signature. |
|
In-depth family history research is not available by the society; however, we can provide you with the names of local genealogists who conduct this type of research. |
|
Include a SASE, letter-sized, with your request. If you cannot provide us with a SASE, we will charge you a fee for postage of fifty cents ($0.50). If the material will not fit into a letter-sized envelope, we will send the material in the necessary type of envelope and charge you accordingly. |
|
Don't send cash, because we are unable to accept it. |
|
All Checks and/or money orders should be made payable to "Madison County Historical Society, Inc.". We also are more than happy to accept additional donations in favor of the Society. |
|
All requests will be honored in the order received and in a timely fashion. |
|
Requests may be mailed to the Society at the address listed above, % Family History Committee. |
MADISON COUNTY FAMILIES PROJECT
The Madison County Families Project was started in 1993, to celebrate the 170th anniversary of the formation of Madison County. We have quite an ancestral base established and want to continue collecting this data for future generations. We ask that you join us by adding your family information. Whether your family has been in this county 1, 10, 50 or over a 100 years we want everyone to register.
Fill out the attached five generation chart as completely as you can, using maiden names for the women. Please type or print clearly.
Discuss this chart with your family and together see how far back you can go. If you cannot complete the five generations use what you have, make a copy for yourself to work on later, then send us the chart and continue to work on filling in the blanks.
Make sure you fill in your name, address and phone number plus the date you filled out the chart. List your first ancestor in Madison County even if it is yourself, the date they/you came here and from where. That may not be where they/you were born. Also sign the statement giving us permission to publish this chart if we choose to do so.
We thank you for taking the time to honor your family by wanting to have their descendants on file with our society. Additional charts are available at our office or will be sent on request when a self-addressed stamped envelope is enclosed. Please return the charts to our office or to the class or organization that is participating in this project.
The charts will be housed
in the genealogy section of the Madison County Historical Society, Inc.
