Due to limited time and staff, we have a $20.00 per hour research fee. We do a brief initial search (approximately 15 minutes) for free, to determine whether or not we have relevant resources. We do not read microfilm for obituaries unless the death date is known. Photocopies are 25 cents per page, plus postage if we are mailing them to you.
