Family History

Family history research often includes school attendance history or even school records.

A $30.00 per hour fee may be charged for research time depending on the nature of the request.

If you want to know which schools someone attended and when, please send a written request that includes as much of the following information on the subject of your research as possible:

Include the following in your letter:

• The name or names (including possible variations in spelling) used while in school
• His or her birthdate (at least an approximate date).
• The parents' names.
• The names of the schools your subject attended as well as the approximate attendance dates.
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• Your handwritten signature
• The reason for your request, and
• Your relationship to the former student

If you wish to obtain a copy of this person's school records, you will need to include a signed and dated release from him or her, or, if your subject is deceased, you must provide a copy of the death certificate as well as release from the next of kin. Also include a check or money order payable to Seattle Public Schools for $10.00 for each student record requested. Otherwise, you may be billed for this service.
