ST. JOSEPH/MAUD PRESTON PALENSKE MEMORIAL LIBRARY
RESEARCH REQUEST POLICY
The Maud Preston Palenske Memorial Library will provide limited research and genealogy requests for patrons who reside outside of Berrien County. For extensive research or requests extending beyond a one hour search time we will refer you to a professional researcher. Requests are answered in the order they are received. We make no guarantees of success and there are no refunds. Patrons are limited to six requests per month. It is in the requester’s best interest to be as specific as possible. For obituary requests, we ask for specific dates, names and spellings. We will search three days before and after the date submitted. Please submit your request using the on-line form or in writing. Telephone requests may be answered as time and staffing allow. A $10.00 payment per request is required in advance. Please allow 30 days for results.
