How To Do Genealogical Research
RESEARCH REQUESTS
The Historical Society welcomes family history researchers during our regular hours Sundays 1-4 PM in June, July, and August or by appointment mid-May through mid-October. If you are traveling far or need assistance in your research, we encourage you to make an appointment.
We accept written requests. When writing to us, please be brief, but include as much pertinent information as possible as well as a stamped self-addressed return envelope.
Please address all requests to: Poultney Historical Society, PO Box 605, East Poultney VT 05741.
Our volunteers will do up to one hour of research for a free will donation. If for some reason your request involves more time or resources outside of our society, we will advise you. A photocopier is available for ten cents per copy.
As the museum library is often inaccessible during snowy winter months, we ask that you please be patient with our volunteers during this time.
