The staff at the museum are excellent! I contacted them asking for someone to search for records pertaining to Mary Healy, and her husband Bernard Hoppenyan. I asked them to stop at $50 and contact me with their findings before proceeding. Three weeks later, I received an email from with extensive information including photo copies of death records, portraits of both Mary and Bernard and two of their children, Mary's parent's death records, images of newspaper articles, etc.etc.etc. I am very pleased and recommend them highly!
