All Research Requests must be written for by mail. General questions pertaining to what is available can be answered by phone or email, but not actual research requests. Following are fees and type of records available.
The fee for general research is $5.00 for a half-hour search per individual name, plus cost of copies (.50 cents a page, minimum of $1.00).
This research can include:
