I don't recall seeing information posted about this on any mail list so thought I would pass on one of the most helpful tools available for those living in Texas. The TexShare member libraries offer library members access to the TexShare Databases, which includes HeritageQuest Online in the History and Genealogy section. You must obtain a login and password from your library -- if it is a participating library and if all of the criteria listed at #3 on the site below is met: http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/texshare/pl/onlinedatabasefaq.html#faqspub The census records of HeritageQuest Online are indexed -- not all years are online but several are and very easy to use and clear to read. I think the Fort Smith, Sebastian County, AR, public library also offers HeritageQuest Online, according to what is listed on their web site for which you need a login and password. People in other states should check with their local libraries to see if they have a similar program. Peggy Horton
