General Enquiries:
Armidale Family History Group Inc., offers a Research Service to
people who are unable to visit Armidale. The initial cost is
$35.00 Australian per enquiry payable in advance by cheque or
money order; this includes return postage. For this fee we will
research one surname in the resources we hold in our
Library.
To initiate a research request please
download
and complete the Research Request form to tell us
as concisely as possible, exactly who it is you would like us to
research. The completed form, together with your
cheque or money order,
should then be posted to the address given on the form. If you have
already obtained some certificates, it would be helpful if you could
provide us with dates and places of births, deaths or marriages, and
any relevant names from the certificates. Please provide as much of
this information as possible so that we can be sure we are searching
for the correct person.
Depending on the complexity of the request,
volunteers will search a variety of resources in our Library which
include: Armidale Cemetery transcriptions, family and local
histories, "Dust of Ages" (journal of Armidale Family History Group
Inc.), Armidale and District Historical Society Journals together
with the Armidale Family History Group's personality and place
files.
We include up to five (5) pages of photocopying
in our $35 charge, but if more material is found, each additional A4
page will be charged at a rate of 20 cents but we will not exceed an
additional $5 without your authorization.
All
research requests are handled in the order in which they are
received. Please be patient as our Research Service depends on the
goodwill of our volunteers and their available free time. We regret
that we are unable to undertake any requests falling outside the
above guidelines.
Armidale Cemetery Look-ups:
There is no fee for this service but please supply a stamped
addressed envelope. However, if your list exceeds four names we ask
for a $5.00 donation to our ‘Resource Fund’.
