We will do a limited number of obituary requests from the indexed obituaries.
- Queries must be accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope.
- There is a $6.00 nonrefundable fee per individual obituary requests. The query must include the name and date of death of the person whose obituary is requested.
- For requests other than an obituary search, you will be billed $12.00 per hour, minimum, with a bill being sent along with any results found.
The library does not have a genealogy staff, so we are not able to do requests over the phone. You can email us at adultprogramming.peru@gmail.com with a request.
