For the most professional research service in Daviess County and the surrounding area, please contact us!! The WCPL Genealogy/Reference Department research center offers research services to those individuals interested in obtaining genealogical and historical data from the vast resources of the department’s collection but who cannot conduct an on-site investigation at the present time. The research is performed by certified and licensed librarians experienced in conducting genealogical research and in using the resources of the Genealogy Department and on the Internet. Up to an hour will be spent evaluating the research question, exploring primary and secondary sources, obtaining copies of pertinent documents, and composing a research response. The fee for this service is subject to work being done non-refundable and paid in advance. Please email or call for exact fees. A research response (limited to three pages) sent via email will incur no additional charge. Mailing copies and information via postal mail will result in a charge for copies and postage.
