Plan B: Norfolk County Research Assistance
Under this Plan,
we do the digging for you!
Plan B assumes you
know the name of an ancestor who once lived in Norfolk County and
approximately when s/he lived here. (If you have more information, so much
the better as it will make our efforts even more productive.) Just
tell us who and approximately when.
For a pre-payment of $25 (which covers an hour of research time,
up to 15 pages of photocopying, and our mailing costs), specially
trained researchers will search the following records
in the Society's Archives seeking the information you request:
-
Indexed Census records from 1851-1901
-
over 1000 microfilms (when relevant)
-
over 300 large copy books of Land Records 1795-1955
-
Newspaper records for Births, Marriages & Deaths 1840-1967
for Simcoe and the surrounding area
-
Index to the Vital Stastics (B.M.D.) for all Ontario
from 1869 to currently available
-
8,000 indexed Marriages from 1795 to 1870
-
120 boxes of indexed document collections, 1790 to early 1900's
-
over 1,200 families that are being researched
-
375 published and printed genealogies
-
250 volumes of Norfolk County Genealogy & History indexes
-
Map indices
-
Indexed Upper Canada Land Petitions 1790 to 1835
-
several other sources
As a bonus, we will add your request to the appropriate Family File
on our shelves. That way if a relative comes digging for the same
information some time in the future, we will include your contact
information in what we send her. (Why should the search for other
branches of your family tree be only one-way? This way cousins may seek
you out rather than the other way around.)
Questions? Email [email protected]
and we will try to assist.
Send your cheque for $25 (payable to
"Norfolk Historical Society"), your ancestor's name and approximate date(s)
in Norfolk, to:
