Affiliated Societies

Asking a local history society for information
Most societies will not make a charge because the members are doing it because they like to help.
Thanking them for their effort is a nice gesture, a stamped addressed envelope for postal replies is always appreciated.
However, some groups may make a small charge. This may recompense the researcher for their efforts on your behalf, or it may be used to help the group provide a better service for its members.
Rarely does the enquirer not get excellent value for their money.
