<DIV><FONT face=Arial>It's six of one and half a doz. of the others.
Ancestral.com beats genealogy.com as far as the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>census images. They do make in harder to find some
indviduals, despite their find and search</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>device. I have never tried Heritage Quest and do not
currently know of anyone who uses it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You may want to go to your local LDS library and see if
they might have a listing of the</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>passenger sites. LDS filmed a lot of stuff and that

<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi all,<BR>Would some of you more genealogical savy persons
give your personal opinions<BR>of the strengths and weaknesses of some of the
online genealogy sites? My<BR>Dad and I share an Ancestry.com
subscription, so I'm quite familiar with<BR>that one. I seem to get lost
in Heritage Quest and Genealogy.com.<BR><BR>Is most of the same information in
most sites, or do they have individual<BR>strengths and weaknesses? Is
there anywhere that passenger lists are all<BR>located? I'm looking for
the deBeer family on a ship in 1852. I've looked<BR>through the ships on
Ancestry (dozens of ships, hundreds of names) with
no<BR>luck<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Ronda<BR><BR>----- Original Message -----

Online<BR><BR><BR>> I know that you all were talking about
HeritageQuest Online earlier. I<BR>didn't get around to looking
for it until today. The Pierce County<BR>Washington Library System
Has HeratageQuest. All one needs is a library<BR>card with the barcode
numbers and a password to get in (no cost). This is a<BR>very large and
up to date Library System and I've been a patron for many<BR>years. Pierce
County is South of King County King County is basically<BR>Seattle, and Pierce
County is Basically Tacoma and Surrounding smaller<BR>cities such as
University Place, Where I live.<BR>> The only problem I have today is that
the system is so buisy that I can't<BR>get in. I'll Try this evening
after closing.<BR>> --<BR>> Bob Goodman<BR>> USAF Retired<BR>>
