Have you hit a brick wall with your family history or other research? Don't know which way to turn? Nottinghamshire Archives' Research Service may be able to help.
Searches can be carried out for family, local and house history for a fee in most sources held at the Archives, including parish registers, census returns, wills and other records.
Even if your family was not Nottinghamshire based, we are able to undertake internet research for family history nationally. We have access to a wide variety of resources available on the Ancestry web site including census returns, London parish registers and the vastly improved General Register Office Indexes.
Find out more on our Research Service page.
