<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>

<P style="BACKGROUND: white" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; COLOR: black">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!</SPAN></P></DIV>
