| For researchers who live too far away to get to the library, members of the reference staff will lookup genealogical data in the following resources: |
| BARTON COUNTY CEMETERIES (3 volumes), Compiled by the Barton County Genealogical Society,1984. (Not updated since 1984). |
| Barton County Families database compiled by Marlin Bryant. This database includes over 150,000 names extracted from obituaries found in the Great Bend Tribune and other sources. |
| Obituaries in Great Bend newspapers on microfilm (1876 to Present). We must have an exact death date (month/date/year) or the date it appeared in the newspaper. |
| The look-up fee is $5.00 per name per resource. For example: One name in one resource is $5.00. A search for one name in all three resources will be $15.00. The fee includes the cost of photocopies, computer printouts, and postage. Obituary lookups with only month and year are $10.00. Obituary lookups with only the year will not be accepted. |
