The date and time shown simply shows our Research and Collections team the date your request is submitted. If you choose to receive your research findings with an in-person appointment, our team will contact you to set a date for that.
Provide as much detail as possible regarding your research request. Narrow your request to an individual or one family. Let our researchers know as much as you can about them. Include with your request: Full Name of Ancestor to be researched and Related Others (parents, siblings, spouse, children); Your Ancestor’s Important Dates & Locations of birth, marriage, death, arrival, naturalization, etc.; Information Sought – What do you hope to learn? Where they lived? See a historic photo?
Research results are unpredictable. Your ancestor may have left behind a wealth of interesting documents or he/she may have tread lightly across Manitowoc County, leaving few, or even no, records behind. You can expect your researcher to implement your research plan diligently and to spend your budgeted research dollars wisely. However, when you commission research, you are responsible for research fees regardless of results.
