Hello again, I appreciate hearing from some of you, but I have another question. I will be sending to the Town of Somerset, and they charge $11.00 a search, whether or not a record is found. Is this the normal charge? Thanks again. Leave it to me to have a follow-up question, even as a child.

Last year I was helping a girl with her SADDLESON/TOWNSEND family research in Town of Cambria and eventually found out that when she received the request form that the Town of Cambria Clerk had sent her to fill out, that it apparently stated that she should send a check in the amount of $11.00 per request. I seriously doubt that Town of Porter charges that amount but frankly I don't know what other towns charge. Town Clerks are a unique breed of people--some of them won't let you even peak into "their" records without a "search warrant" PLUS a copy of your birth certificate and others just open up their old records to you to and let you go at them to your heart's content! vee
