The
LaGrange County Public Library does not have a full-time genealogy researcher
on staff. We will attempt to answer any genealogy requests that we
receive, but we ask genealogists to request only very specific pieces of
information, please. In addition, please supply as much background
information as possible, so we'll have something to work with.
We urge genealogists who need in-depth
research to try consulting the LaGrange
INGenWeb's Look Ups, GeneaSearch's
Indiana Free Genealogy Look Ups, the Indiana
Genealogy Society's Researchers List, or Allen
County Public Library's Genealogy Department
for local assistance.
