1. LCGS Query Volunteers will not spend time researching non-Lanark County-specific information or information that is readily available from other sources. Civil registration started in Ontario in 1869 and birth, marriage and death registrations are available on microfilm through the Latter Day Saints’ Family History Centres and online at http://www.ancestry.ca. Birth, marriage and death notices from newspapers may sometimes be found online at http://www.paperofrecord.com.
2. Person requesting information must provide their full name and mailing address and should provide as much information as possible with the initial request, such as names and dates of known relatives, religion and any known contacts with Lanark County. Person requesting information must supply all pertinent information they have already discovered, to prevent duplication of effort. LCGS reserves the right to suggest sources for information that must be supplied in order for the LCGS search to have a reasonable chance of success.
3. For members there is no charge for the first hour. For significant research the research rate is $15 per hour. For non-members the minimum charge is $30 to cover the first two hours, payable in advance. Charges are to cover time expended by researchers and do not guarantee successful results. At the discretion of the Query Chairperson there will be no charge for a "minimal effort" response such as a very simple lookup or suggesting alternate research sources.
4. Copies will be charged at 25 cents a page, except for deeds, wills, land record books and other difficult-to-copy documents which will be charged at $1.00 per page.
5. Cheques are payable to Lanark County Genealogical Society.
6. Members may submit queries to the LCGS Lanark Log newsletter at no charge. Non-members may not submit queries to the newsletter (except for other genealogical organizations).
7. Please send an email to the Webmaster Gary Byron gjbyron@magma.ca in order to obtain details on what is required to set up a new query webpage
