To facilitate the duties of the researchers, the Executive Committee has formulated the following instructions and guidelines.
FOR MEMBERS
Committee members will spend one hour researching Huron County and Erie County publications pertaining to the time period requested. Each request should be a specific as possible, including time period, township (if known), and only one or two ancestral names. There will be no fee for this service other than the actual costs incurred for photocopies. Information can be sent by e-mail, if desired. Inquirers must send a self-addressed, stamped envelope, if photocopies are to be mailed. Voluntary monetary donations to the Chapter will be appreciated.
Additionally, the committee members will be available to perform more extensive and involved research at the Huron County Courthouse, Erie County Courthouse, Huron County and Erie County libraries, the Laning-Young Research Center, and other Huron County and Erie County locations as their time permits. This service is available at the following rates: $50 for 5 hours or $100 for 12 hours, plus actual costs incurred for photocopies.
