Family Folders
The Family Files, also called "Vertical Files" by some, contain information that is "good, bad, and indifferent." It is up to the researcher to determine the accuracy and genealogical value of the information collected.
Requesting information from these files falls into the "One-Person-Per-Researcher-Per-Month Request" allowed by the Archives staff. Contact the Archives for additional information.
