1. The Mifflin County Historical Society will
answer genealogical inquiries for a charge of $25.00 per surname. A
general search will be made of our indexed histories and printed
genealogies, files of marriages and death records, cemetery records and any
research done by our staff or others in the past. Search may include other
sources which seems appropriate and are available in our library, such as
census records, street directories, newspaper files, etc.
2. The Society charges a separate fee for
courthouse work (deeds, wills, marriage licenses, etc.) The fee:
$10.00 for courthouse research, $10.00 per hour prorated, plus cost of
copies and postage. If you wish to have courthouse work done, please
alert our research staff and send the minimum fee of $10.00.
3. Photocopies of necessary records and mailing costs are not included in
the $25.00 search fee. Xerox copies are $0.15 each and microfilm
copies are $0.25 each.
4. A report will be sent to you by the researcher listing any information
found and sources cited.
5. If further investigation seems warranted, you will be advised.
6. Checks, money orders or cash exceeding $1.00 in value which you may have
enclosed with your letter will not be returned. Amounts of $1.00 or less
are considered contributions to the Society, unless used to credit toward
your payment of the initial research.
7. Please be specific in stating your request. We cannot do much with
requests for “all you have on the Smith family.” For cemetery,
census or tax records we must have at least approximate dates and locations
(i.e. towns or townships). If possible state:
a. Full name of person about whom you want
information.
b. Birth and/or death dates, or any approximate
dates known.
c. Location in Mifflin County where person was
supposed to have lived.
d. Other relatives names - spouse, children,
relatives.
8. Including a self-addressed stamped envelope helps insure a reply.
