<DIV>A note about Heritage Quest. --</DIV>
<DIV>I was a subscriber for many years to Heritage Quest; have many of their
census CDs. However, since they changed to library subscriptions only, Heritage
Quest is no longer available to me. I know that for anyone living near, and
having a library card at the larger libraries, it works out quite well. For
those of us in more rural areas with small libraries not able to afford Heritage
Quest subscription, it is a different story. And, if I chose to have a
non-resident card at the Eugene Public Library, that would make Heritage Quest
my most expensive subscription. Too bad. I really liked HQ.</DIV>

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!<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
