Research Policies

If you're a member of OCHS, or decide to become a member, you are entitled to use the resources at the Genealogy Center FREE of charge. Non-members MUST purchase a membership in order to use the Genealogy Center or to have research done for them.

We do limited in-house research for members as time allows. Osage County was formed in 1841 and we have census records from 1840 through 1910; naturalization records, marriage records, cemetery records, probate tax and land deed records (on microfilm). We also have plat books, maps, county histories, family histories, and keep a vertical file of all requests for family information.

We are here to be of service, and welcome your inquiries.
