GENEALOGY RESEARCH
Our society is a non-profit organization consisting of an all-volunteer staff. Our goal is to “Preserve the Past for the Future.”
Out library consists of County cemetery records (with headstones), census records, hundreds of obituary records, Advocate and Democrat (late 1860) newspapers, Ridgway Record microfilm tapes from 1903 to present, family histories, county histories, Ridgway history, industrial histories, high school yearbooks, and Ridgway Town directories. Courthouse records are available for research. Courthouse copies are .50 per sheet.
All genealogy requests must come by mail. No e-mail requests accepted. Non-members who visit the society for research pay a fee of $5 plus .20 per copy. Members who visit the society pay no fee for research but pay .20 per copy. If you request only one item (obituary-wedding), the fee is $5.
Letters sent to the society will be billed according to quantity of information, time to gather information, plus copies and postage. Our fees are reasonable.
The following chart may assist both the requestor and genealogist in determining how much information the requestor already has and where information is lacking, so duplicate information is not charged..
