The
CCNGS fee for
research assistance is $10. The fee covers the society’s or the
volunteer researcher’s costs of preparing replies, making copies,
providing
forms, and mileage and parking expense. If costs exceed the amount
remitted, we
will contact you before incurring added costs. Include
with your request the non-refundable fee, this completed form, and a
SASE
(Self-Addressed-Stamped-Envelope). Also provide us with a Family Group record,
Pedigree Chart or other summary telling us why you think the records
you are
seeking will be found in Las Vegas or Clark County. Please
determine the
complete date of birth, marriage or death before you request a
newspaper search.
CCNGS has no members who do research for pay. For this reason, we are not able to undertake major genealogy or family history research projects. If you need an answer to a specific genealogy or family history question, one of our member volunteers will try to locate it for you. Some of the information sources available locally include newspaper microfilm and indexes, telephone directories, a few city directories, book and manuscript collections, property records and voter registrations.
