Lookup Request Form

For Lookups and photocopying from resources that are already indexed and are in our TCGS Library, we will do a lookup for a single name (including spelling variations) in a single resource plus up to 5 photocopies from that resource for a $5.00 non-refundable donation. Additional copies are 15 cents each.

You may request lookups in multiple resources or multiple names in a single resource by paying $5.00 for each name in each resource you wish checked. If you have several lookups you should consider whether 2 hours of research is more cost effective (see our Research page for details).

Print this page and any other pages that include the sources you wish searched. See the TCGS Researchers page for address and email address for any questions prior to sending your request.
