Ask the Genealogical and Historical Society that you will set up a agreement with them that when someone on the site wants something they will have to send you or them the Money for what it would cost if they were there getting the information for the themselves Most places will mail them the information back or you could set up a post office box and have them send you the money first and than send them the information they requested. Even if it means reimbursement for your time and expenses. It would be a lot cheaper than having to make a trip there. For myself, I have found it cheaper to pay someone than to make the trip. This way the Historical Society is getting there money. I do not know the cost in Illinois, but in Arkansas, They charge for it even including mileage. If I lived over there I definitely would help you. They would have to have a motel room while they are there if they do not have family. The cost of there gasoline, the wear and tear on the automobile Come on guys give the Lady a big hand of appreciation she is trying and if this suggestion works out it would benefit everyone. May you have many blessings from above today.
