  • Providing a copy of a single page from a book, a single obituary, etc. via postal mail for a flat fee of $4.00. Please a written request using this form Assisted Research Request Form and following instructions for mailing with a check or money order. For electronic payment through PayPal (you can use your own credit card there as well) follow the instructions on the form.
  • Provide copies of multiple pages from a book with a limit of 10 pages for $8.00, mailed in advance with a check or money order using this form Assisted Research Request Form or via PayPal following the instructions on the form.
  • Post queries in our quarterly journal A Lot of Bunkum. The request should be written by the client in letter format and is subject to the approval of the Editor. This is a free service for members. The charge for non-members is $3.00 submitted in advance with a check or money order.

We are no longer offering in-depth research help. If you need additional research support, please contact the State Archives of North Carolina at www.archives.ncdcr.gov or the Board of Certification of Genealogists at www.bcgcertification.org for a list of researchers available for work.
