How to request research assistance

The Kossuth County Genealogical Society charges a minimum of $5 for one-half hour of research and $10 per hour thereafter, plus copying costs and postage. We have a form you can print out and mail in in PDF format. Your research requests can be mailed to

KCGS, c/o Algona Public Library, 210 North Phillips Street, Algona, IA 50511

or can be submitted via email to Nancy Yeoman

When the materials requested have been located, a bill will be sent to you and upon payment receipt, the materials will be mailed to you.

Queries: As a member of KCGS, you are entitled to submit queries for publication in the newsletter free of charge. If you are not a member of KCGS, there is a $5 charge per query.
