We will do research by mail. Our charge for research is $8.00 per hour

sent. We are a non profit organization and use our income to meet operational
expenses. We can't afford to subsidize your research.
When requesting research, please tell us what information you have and
what records you have already searched, it will save us time and you money.
Send Us Your Material!!
We would love to add your material to our collections. We have researchers
coming from all over the country, and some are probably working on YOUR
families. Any material you send us will be placed in our family files,
our library, or on our computer. We welcome copies of family sheets and
documents, as well as books and computer databases. We can convert GEDCOM
files or records from these popular genealogy programs: Family Origins,
Family Tree Maker, Brother's Keeper, and others.
