Local History & Genealogy Request Form

A record is defined as 1 article, 1 birth announcement, 1 marriage announcement, 1 death notice or 1 source. If you are unsure of how much your request would cost or what materials we have available to search, please contact the library staff. A complete date of birth, marriage or death (month, day, and year) is required for this search. We will search the date you provide plus a maximum of 5 additional days before and after the date provided.
