Surname and Vertical Files
Of particular interests to genealogists are our extensive collection of surname and vertical files. Surname files contain miscellaneous information related to surnames. Information contained in the files has been collected by SCHC staff and researchers and varies depending upon surname. Vertical files contain miscellaneous information related to geographic area and subject content.
Surname and vertical files can be researched by visiting SCHC or by requesting research from SCHC staff. The request needs to be specific and not generic. Providing places, dates, relative names, and other relevant information can assist the researchers in fulfilling your request.
