Geanealogy Resources 2
Note:
If you have already compiled your genealogy we would like
to duplicate it and add it to our computer based collection.
We will teach you how to computerize your own family tree,
or do it for you at a cost of $25.00. We do not do the
research, you must provide that. When finished we will
provide you with a computerized genealogy easily shared
with others. At the present time we have the following
Gedcom Files available at a rate of $5.00 per Gedcom.
Photocopy of the material varies with the amount of
material but usually costs .25 cents a page.
Our continuing and on-going research projects include:
Collection of Chester Basin Material to be started.
Databasing of Oak Island Clippings and Information
Collection and coalating of material on the houses
and land in the Village of Chester
Continuation of database work on clippings,
obituaries, photos
Continuation of work on genealogy collection
