2. Next, access the Online Listing of Surnames and look for your primary surname of interest. This Online Listing of Surnames shows all surnames currently found in our database, along with the applicable record count associated with each surname listed. Review of this listing will tell you in advance whether or not there are records in our Database for the particular surname you are interested in.
3. If you find your surname of interest in our Online Listing of Surnames, return to the main Search Service Menu and access the Online Search Request Form. Using your browser's Print feature, print the Search Request Form and then return to the Online Listing of Surnames. Jot down the surname and the record count associated with your surname of interest (primary search surname) on the Search Request Order Form.
4. Next, look for possible spelling variations and potential misspellings for your primary search surname in the Online Listing of Surnames. Customers may include up to 10 reasonable spelling variations or potential misspellings within the framework of a single Surname Search. Please review the Reasonable Spelling Variations page for some guidelines as to what is and what is not considered to be reasonable.
5. If you find spelling variations and/or potential misspellings for your surname of interest, record those variations and/or misspellings on the Search Request Form too, along with the applicable record count for each.
6. Add the record counts of your primary search surname and all spelling variations together to determine a Total Record Count for your Search Request. Use this Total Record Count to determine your applicable Search Fee from the Search Fee Schedule shown on the Search Request Form. The Search Fee Schedule can also be accessed at the main Search Service Menu. Enter this amount as your Search Fee.

8. Finally, calculate the Total Amount Due and send along with your Search Request Form to the address shown on the form. Our address is also found on our contact page. Please note all Search Fee payments must be paid by Check or Money Order and must accompany your Search Request. Sorry, we are not currently set up to process credit card or other types of online financial transactions.
9. Sit back and relax. After your Search Request is received at our company offices, your Surname Search will be entered into our system, run accordingly, and the Search Results Report will then be mailed back to you within 3 weeks after our receipt of your Search Request. Please note that is a maximum turnaround time. Normally searches are run and Search Results Reports are mailed back to customers within 3 to 4 days after a Search Request is received, but occasionally the inhouse publishing of our books slows these turnaround times down somewhat.
That's all there is to it! Please contact us if you have any questions. We look forward to being of service to you!
