They do charge $25.00 to research for one hour, so try to be as clear and specific with your questions as you possibly can. There is a sample letter on the site that shows how to set up your questions. The way that I understand it, the Archdiocese is a central archive that has all the old church data from the congregations in the Cincinnati, Ohio area. Am I correct? Last year, I sent for records, but I didn't get much information from the archive. It appeared to me that they did the absolute minimum possible, but they may find more for you.
