List,
I live in Franklin Co., KS and am familiar with many of the records because
I have researched my own families here. As I am between jobs, I am willing
to do some minor lookups for free, but just until I'm employed again.
Anything that costs money or takes a lot of time (Census searches come to
mind) I would expect to be compensated for.
Ottawa does not have a genealogical library per se, but the Ottawa Library
does have a limited genealogical section that has been quite helpful over
the years.
