Research Help
The Branch maintains an extensive
(and expanding) genealogical research
library which is staffed by a group of experienced genealogy
volunteers who assist visitors on-site and carry out research by
correspondence for those at a distance. Researchers can locate names
of possible interest to them in the library
holdings by searching our online Names
Index Database.
Look-ups
Simple
requests, such as a location of a death notice, or a single look-up in
resources, will be carried out at no charge and the results sent by
e-mail.
Research Inquiries
Requests
requiring more extensive research, involving investigation of multiple
sources, will be charged a small fee and the results photocopied and
sent by postal mail. If
requested, inquirers will be provided with an estimate of the cost of
the research before it is carried out. Quinte
Branch members are entitled to one hour of research without charge. The
Quinte Branch is a non-profit organization and revenue earned from
research is used to improve services and expand the collection.
When requesting help with your
research by e-mail please include your name, postal address and
membership number if applicable.
