If you need any help with Genealogy or the Vertical Files please contact us.

If you don’t see your business, church, or family in the Vertical Files, it means we don’t have a file on it! We would greatly appreciate any donations to add to our collections!

If you choose to donate, we will be more than happy to make copies so that you may keep your original.
