 Paradise
Genealogical Society offers a research service in Butte
County, California, only,
with the following procedures
and fee schedule.
RESEARCH REQUEST FORM
Research
requests for specific information will be answered in the order they
are received by the Society. The research staff 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 request funds are non-refundable.
