The following guidelines have been established concerning research requests

MAIL

Please type or print your letters.

Limit of 2 requests per letter.
-
Make your request short and to the point. For example: I need
a death date for ???. Or I need a marriage date for ??? Or can you
check a specific cemetery for my ancestor? Or can you provide an
obit for my ancestor? (They start in 1899)
-
Please do not send queries like this: "I think my ancestor is buried in
Beaver County, he died around 1850-1870. Can you check you cemeteries
for him?" First we have over 180 cemeteries, they are not all abstracted
and there is no comprehensive index.
-
We will no longer copy entire surname files.
-
Include as much information about the person you are looking for as you
can: Dates - places(township if you know it) - etc

A family group sheet would be really helpful when sending queries!
If you do not know what a family group sheet is, Go to www.cyndislist.com
and look under genealogical forms.

OBITUARY REQUESTS- If you know the exact date of death the fee is $5.00
