Windsor
County Researchers and Lookups
The following are sources or Participants in the Windsor County History and Genealogy Project. The folks who have volunteered the use of their reference material to assist you. Please be aware that they are doing this on a voluntary basis so do not overload them with requests. Emails must refer to the County and the Town of your inquiry. Also keep emails to just one person or surname at one time. They will respond to your email questions.
If your problem is more extensive, requiring telephone calls, trips to a library, or special requirements, that is different. If the person listed is willing to pursue the search on a commercial basis it will so state with an estimate of his or her fees.
If there is anyone who would like to participate in this program, we would welcome your assistance, and will post your name here to best describe your service. Please send me an email, click on name: Denise
