Research Help

Need help researching in Lenawee County?

Research Assistance is handled by a committee of helpers. One volunteer monitors the email address given below.

Please limit your questions to simple lookups, and to 1 core family group.

If you have contacted other resources/researchers, mail lists, etc. asking for assistance, please give them one month to get back to you.

Costs, such as postage and copies, will be the responsibility of the researcher requesting assistance. A donation for lookups is always appreciated. As an extra benefit for those that donate we will also publish the surnames you are researching with your contact information in our newsletter.

Our members may or may not be in a position to help those in need of extensive research. Any agreement between you, the researcher and our members for extensive research will be a private matter between the parties. Remember volunteers have families and jobs, the same responsibilities we all have, your patience and understanding is appreciated.
