Belleville Public Library Genealogy & Local History Collection
We invite you to visit our library to spend as much time as you like using our collection. If you are unable to visit in person, we do genealogy research for a nominal fee of $8.00 per half hour of staff time and a fee of 20¢ per copy. We also ask for a self addressed, stamped envelope to be included. We will not mail research information out until fees are paid.
Charges will apply for work done, even if we are not able to find the requested information.
Please do not send any payment until all research has been completed and you have been notified.
We ask for your patience as our research is done as time permits. This could be a day or this could be two months, since serving our local library patrons has to be our first priority.
