If you would like to do your own research, you are more than welcome to use our library facilities. The Bruce County Archives is part of the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre. It is located at 33 Victoria Street, Southampton, Ontario. The contact number is (519) 797-2080, ext. 129, and is open during museum hours.
The Bruce County Genealogical Society’s research collection, the Audrey Webster Underwood Collection library, is housed in the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre. It is open during museum hours.
If you would like the BCGS to do paid research for you, please fill in the Request for Information Form with as much detail as possible. Cost: $35 non-refundable (for up to two hours of research); paid by e-transfer (preferred), cheque, or money order. This includes research costs, photocopies, and postage. Additional research is available at $25 per hour.
Complete a “Request for Research Form“. Then, mail OR email the form to the BCGS. If paying by cheque, mail that with the form. If paying by e-transfer, direct your funds to our treasurer; information is on the form. Click HERE to download the PDF, Click HERE for a fillable PDF, OR click the image below to download PDF.
Please note that we will not provide research for Proof of Canadian Citizenship. This is a much more detail-oriented process that requires us, by law, under Bill C-3, to provide certificates, often at a cost that our very low fee structure does not support. Because we are a stand-alone genealogical society with a small group of volunteers, we are simply not able to undertake this kind of research.
