| The American-French Genealogical Society accepts requests
for ancestral searches. This offer is open to the general public,
members or not. The only requirement is that the ancestor you are
seeking be French-Canadian, for that is the focus of our organization,
and the area where we can be of the most help. |

research request sheet by clicking on the research request form at the
bottom of this screen, fill in the necessary information, send via
regular mail to the address listed on the form. No requests will be
accepted via email at this time. |

| What You Need To Send To Us -- |
| 1) Your request with a choice of one of the following; |
- Type of Research -
- Single Marriage - One marriage to search. Marriages of parents
will also be counted as additional single marriages and billed as
such.
- Direct Lineage - A straight line of either a husband or wife back
to the immigrant ancestor. This will include each couple, their date
and place of marriage, and their parents' names and location of
immigrants in France. Price for direct lineages will be determined
by the number of generations found times the rates for research as
applicable.
- Five Generation Ancestral Chart - Standard five generation
ancestral chart of 31 ancestors with 8 marriages found. The last
column of names will give parents' names only: no marriages as they
will start a new five generation chart.
|
- Your name, street, city, state, zip code, and member number if you
are an AFGS member
|
- Any pertinent information you may have.
