RESEARCH FEES
Our Library is a non-profit, all volunteer organization. We depend on our Members and Patrons, like you, to keep us open.

All funds collected for research are used to support the Library as none of our Volunteers receive compensation for their time. Donations over and above our fees are grateflly accepted.

* Additional fees may apply if we need to go to outside sources. I.E., probate records, wills, ect.

HOW TO ORDER RESEARCH

A Research Request Form must accompany each request.

Unless you have one specific request, we must have a Family Group Sheet on one family enclosed. We will not accept multiple pages of computer printouts.

It is also helpful for our Volunteers if you fill out a simple Four-Generation Chart.

We ask that you fill out these forms so that we do not duplicate the information that you have already collected. Not complying could cause a delay in fulfilling your request.
