The popularity of tracing family roots has steadily grown over the years. CHI welcomes genealogists who have specific inquiries concerning their ancestors. Before doing genealogical research at CHI request our brochure Researching Your Lutheran Ancestor at Concordia Historical Institute. If it's information on American Lutheran history you need, CHI has it. Fees apply with discounts to Institute members.
All inquiries are to be submitted in writing.
Initial contact may be made by mail, fax or email. Include payment of any fees. Postage and handling may be extra for large projects and will be billed if necessary. Visit Concordia Historical Institute and experience its outstanding collections for yourself. Digital scanning onto CD, color photographic prints and positive copies of microfilm are avilable.
