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. If
requested an estimate of the cost will be provided before the research
is carried out. 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 by e-mail please include your name, postal address and
membership number if applicable.
