Surname Files There are at least 12 file cabinets (4/5 drawers each) stuffed to the
max with files containing correspondence that has come from other genealogists
for over twenty five years. All are filed by the surname being researched.
If you send us your family group sheets, we put them in the surname file.
Who knows, tomorrow a distant cousin might do the same thing! There could
be a wealth of information waiting for you--you just need to ask. We can't
promise the answers to all your questions on your ancestors but we'll sure
give it a try with all the resources that we have. (Please see the "Contacting
the BCGHC" page for information on writing to the Beaver County Genealogy
and History Center for research help.)
