How do I order a lookup?

Go to the Lookups & Services page to see what’s available.  When you have decided what you’d like, click on Place an Order.  From there, you may send me an email containing the required information for the lookups you are requesting, and submit your lookup fees through PayPal.  Once I have received your request and payment, I’ll send you a confirmation email and begin your record searches.  Please read details of individual lookups for information about delivery times, but it is usually 5 business days (Mon - Fri) or less.  Feel free to email me at info@washingtongenealogylookups.com at any time with questions or to check the status of your request.

 

How will I receive the documents?

You will be provided with links such as these, and they should print very nicely from your home computer.  They are at a much higher resolution than the images you see on the sample record pages of this website.  (Note: Digital yearbook pages are de-screened when scanned unless you request otherwise.)   You should also be able to save the images to your computer.  Have a look and try saving or printing:

Can you send me paper documents?  If you can’t print the above images or don’t have a printer, then add $1.00 to your order and let me know you’d like a paper copy, but please be aware that I will fold the pages and mail them in a legal sized envelope.  Of course, delivery time will then be a few days longer.  Tombstone photos would in this case be black & white photocopies, not real color photos on photo paper.

 

Can you look up marriage records?

All of the marriage records I can access are available for free!  Check out the Washington State Archives on the Links page.

 

Are you a professional genealogist?

No, but I am a genealogy enthusiast living in Seattle, Washington who is utterly hooked on family history!  (Just like you, right?!)  I am able to efficiently locate some specific records to help you with your Washington state genealogy research.  I am not affiliated in any way with federal, state, or local government or the LDS church.  Would you like to see my fan club page?  Look here.  I’ve also been known to do an adoption search or two, so if you’re interested in this, please email me at info@washingtongenealogylookups.com .

 

Where do you get your records?

From Puget Sound area LDS Family History Centers, and from the Seattle Public Library.
