Research Services
GSP is committed to providing support for genealogical researchers who, for whatever reasons, might not be able to access GSP Bible or family records themselves. To that end, GSP offers three options for research services.
Option 1: Factual inquiries: We will answer reference questions of up to 1/2 hour for members, 15 minutes for non-members for free. (ex. "Where can I locate Quaker records?" "When was Montgomery County formed?")
Option 2: Lookups: We will perform lookups of records from GSP collections, with a citation, for a $10 pull fee and a .50 per page copying fee. (Please see the GSP Surname Index to Manuscript Archives page.)
Option 3: We will perform up to three hours of genealogy research for longer requests. The charge is $30 per hour for members, $45 an hour for non-members.
You may use the form below to send your request, or email us at emily.shaw@genpa.org.
If your request is outside of the scope of these levels, please refer to our professional genealogists page to hire a researcher.
