For information about the researchers who will do lookups at the SLC library see: http://www.ancestorseekers.com/ Email and snail mail contact is at: http://www.ancestorseekers.com/about.htm They offer some service free. Fee for other services is $52 per hour. They give a quote on total cost before doing any work. They base the quote on the information a client provides on a library research request form found at their website. $52 per hour may sound expensive but for most projects it will be a lot cheaper than travel to SLC and hotels and meals while there. BE SURE to ask researchers if they have access to films you know are in the library but do not yet appear in the catalog. ALSO ask if they can view RESTRICTED films on your behalf. Many military records that contain some data that is less than 100 years old will not circulate to local FHCs because of that. In some cases it means that a library patron cannot order a film containing data that is as old as 1840 because the same film has something on it that has a year date of 1907 or later. The service of Ancestor Seekers may be especially worthwhile regarding films like that. The Qualifikationslisten der Offiziere (military officers' records) are among the films most apt to be restricted. A researcher may have to view several films while searching for one officer's record. Always try to order a film first. Contact Ancestor Seekers (or other SLC researchers) only after learning the film does not circulate. Other researchers in SLC like Heirlines will do a single item lookup for $100. Bear that in mind if the only thing you want copied is possibly on a restricted film and the proposal from Ancestor Seekers is more than $100. Search the internet with "Heirlines" or "Salt Lake City genealogy research" to find the other services. http://www.ancestorseekers.com/fhlassessment.htm Ancestor Seekers publish a newsletter that sends free updates about their services.
