In the off season, they are available by appointment at Unit B, 70 Park Road, Elmsdale. Click here to contact us.
We also have recently added a Family File List, which you can access here. This consists of various items, newspaper, marriage, birth announcements and such. Recently, we were gifted with the Annie Wallace Genealogy Collection, whose contents focus on Milford and area and are marked on the list as AWGF.
