RESEARCH POLICY

Our purposes for doing research are to earn money for Juniper Branch of Family Finders to cover operating expenses and to help others find out more about their Jefferson County ancestors. Our research is done on a volunteer basis by members as time allows. Requests will be processed when the necessary information and appropriate fees are received.

Our minimum research fee is $10.00, which covers a maximum of one hour of research. In addition to this minimum fee, the cost of copies (.10 each for photocopy and .75 each for microfilm) and postage are added. If you wish research beyond the initial hour, please notify us and let us know the maximum hours (or dollar amount) you are requesting. Additional research costs $10.00 per hour, plus expenses (copying, postage, gas mileage for out of town trips, parking fees, etc.). 
When you send your check or money order, PLEASE BE SURE TO INCLUDE A LEGAL SIZE SASE (self-addressed, stamped envelope). 
Please remember to include your e-mail address if you have one, to allow easier contact with you on any questions that may arise.

We make no guarantee the the search will be successful, but our best effort will be put forth. In the event further research is indicated, or if copies of certificates are desired, your researcher will contact you directly and advise you of the probable cost.

We can also do some Wasco and/or Crook County research.
