Given the nature of our business, The Ottawa Herald is often contacted for genealogical information. We do not offer a research service, however, other local services are available.

The Genealogical Society and the Franklin Co. Historical Society can perform research under the following fee system:

• Research - $10.00 hour.
• Copies - 25 cents per page.
