An associate was requesting information on accessing heritage quest (Pro Quest) which has online access to census images/indexes, family histories, and of significant interest to this group, NARA AR pension images which consist of about 10 pages of images for those who received pensions in the AR (we used to send a check to the NARA for these and then wait months for a reply). Godfrey library (as I understand) gives access to heritage quest for $35 a year. However, the Connecticut Society of Genealogist gives the same access for $37 and includes a subscritption to the Connecticut Nutmegger. The Membership card in the CGS also allows you acces to Vital records in town clerk offices. If you have an interest in Connecticut this is great as you can go through the VR books yourself checking for records. Here in NY I have to send a request in along with a check and hope someone bothers to do the lookup so I really appreciate being able to sit there and go through the VR's myself when I visit Connecticut. If you have no interest in Connecticut then it probably wouldn't matter but if you do have an intereset in New England the CSG membership would be the better buy.
