I live in Medford and can access Heritage Quest through the Jackson
County Library website. When I log on the library website there's
a tab that says research and databases, when I go to Heritage I have
to enter my library card. It seems to work well for me.<br>

<div><span>Denise, how does one access Heritage Quest? I have a
Chemeketa Regional Library card through the Stayton Library;
also belong to the Willamette Valley Genealogical Society
and Linn Gen. Society. I browsed through GenealogyBank
today--you can look around, but not get much info, without
paying. I checked out several states for their available
newspapers. At the moment not much I could use, but others
might find many of their areas of interest are included.
thanks for your suggestions!<br>

narrow the searches to Oregon – it covers only up

where the years 1852-1987 are partially indexed.
Sometimes that helps give a little more detail
about the articles and leaves out advertisements –
helpful with more common names</span></div>
