This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VNB.2ACE/600 Message Board Post: I have completed over 20 lookups in Butte and have 12 I am currently working on now. I search at the library; census and newpapers on microfilm. And I search at the Archives : birth recods, death records, death index, coroners reports, newspapers, city directories, voting ledgers, school registrations. And I search at the Court house : Birth certificates, death certificates, land information, marriage licesnses. And I am sure there are a few I have forgotten. Basically I search through everything. These searches do take time. I search very through, as if I were searching on my family. I will verify the information I have found before I expect to be compensated for copies I make. I am however changing my costs for searches, I still only ask for reimbursement of copies and the postage and mailing. Yet I ask for a prepayment of $20.00 and I will retain the sum until my search is complete and any amount left over I will remit with your copies. I have completed several searches and have emailed the familes but have not heard back. Please check your email and see if I have sent you notice about the completion of my work here. If you would like for me to search for you email me as much information as you have and I will search for you.
