I just received the information from Washington County Clerk's office concerning research. I thought I would share it with the board. Genealogical research will be done for a fee of $10.00 per name for a 5 yr search and $1.00 for ea additional year. The $10.00 search fee is not refundable if nothing is found. This office will do NO land record searches. We suggest that you contact an abstractor for that type of work. ALL FEES ARE DUE IN ADVANCE We have no naturalization or school records in this office. Census records are numbers ONLY, we have no names. Records we have are as follows: MARRIAGES starting with 1832 BIRTHS starting with 1877 DEATHS starting with 1877 Plain copies are $1.00 per page, certified copies are $5.00 per copy and additional copies of the same certified are $2.00 ea. Genealogical Research is not one of the main priorities of this office. Most records are kept by hand and we do not have the time or staff to always research requests as they come in. The above information came from the office of Thomas Ganz, County Clerk & Recorder. I called the office this morning to ask if I needed to send $10.00 if I already knew the Volume of the book and the page number for a marriage license. I was told that if I already had that information that I wouldn't have to pay the $10.00 search fee. But, I should send $2.00 because most of the ledger entries run across two pages, since the books are so large. Susan
