Genealogy Department

The Library Genealogy Department is open during regular business hours. There is a copy machine in the department for patron use and the copies are 10 cents each. The department has microfilm and microfiche readers and a microfilm/microfiche printer.

The genealogy staff does research. The search fee is $7.00 per letter, email or telephone call answered, for up to 15 copies, which are $.20 per copy, plus postage. Thus making the basic rate $10.00, plus postage. The postage averages $1.50-$2.00. Any copies beyond 15 is an added fee of $10.00 for the time and cost of the copies, plus the added postage. We will first send an invoice to you showing a list of the materials we found and the total cost. You can then review the materials and decide what you would prefer to receive. The materials we copy will be mailed when your payment is received.


***Our Genealogy department is located in the Petersburg Main Branch only. Winslow and Otwell branches do not have a genealogy department so please do not send questions regarding such to them.
