The researchers listed below provide research assistance for a fee. While the majority specialize in genealogical research, some conduct various types of  historical investigation, and a few reach beyond these two areas to other kinds of research.  Specialties are noted alongside each person's name.

This list is provided as a service to those who need assistance. Researchers listed have no formal connection with the Indiana Historical Society, and IHS assumes no responsibility for the quality or accuracy of the work they perform.  All arrangements and communications must be made directly with the researchers to determine charges, fees, and services.  If you write, please enclose a stamped envelope to assure a reply from the researcher.
