We are pleased to accept requests (in writing or email only) .  However it may involve a long wait.  So much valued time is taken up reading through lengthly letters, please help us (and you!) by keeping your request clear and concise.  Tell us exactly what it is that you require.  Our records do not always give addresses or maiden names.  Our records do not include occupations and there are no school records.
