Research Service
We have a small team of volunteers who will undertake research for members and non-members. The fees charged for this research help to support the Tasmanian Family History Society Inc. Launceston Branch.
The resources available to our research team include online, digital and printed material available in our Branch Library and Libraries Tasmania (the Statewide Library Network) which includes the Tasmanian Archives.
How to make a research request.
1. Obtain a research request form (or forms) -- this can be done in one of several ways:
- Download (Microsoft Word format) here
- Download (PDF format) here
- Email us and we will email a form to you
- Write and we will post a form to you
- Call in at the Branch Library and collect a form
2. Complete a Research Request Form for each individual you need to find out about.
3. Return the form to us (by email, post or in person) along with an initial fee (see below) and a self-addressed envelope if a hard copy report is required.
4. Wait for the report to arrive. We will contact you if we need to spend more time than is covered by the initial fee.
Note: Our preferred method of sending the completed report (and any accompanying documents) is by email. If you would prefer a hard copy report you MUST send us a stamped self-addressed A4 or larger sized envelope (allow enough postage for 8 - 10 A4 pages).
