Research Services

           Paradise Genealogical Society offers  research services with the following procedures and fee schedule:        

           Research requests for specific information will be answered in the order they are received by the society. The research staff (uncertified) will search PGS card catalogs, indexes, and other finding aids relevant to the request. A written reply will be sent upon completion of the search. There is no guarantee that the information the patron is seeking will be found. Each request entails research time by our volunteers; therefore, research monies are non-refundable.

          More extensive research, i.e., census search, newspaper obits,
cemetery, and court records may require travel time and time away from Paradise such as to Butte County Courthouse in Oroville, (free parking,
$1per page for copies) or the Meriam Library at Chico State University
(50¢ per hour parking, 20¢ per page for copies). You are welcome to place
a dollar limit on your request.

·        Member research is $10/hour (2 hour minimum)

·        Non-member research is $15/hour (2 hour minimum)

         All requests should include the completed Research Request  and a
check or money order payable to the Paradise Genealogical Society.
