Brian, what is the connection between your research and San Mateo county, California, USA?

Well, I just read something unfortunate about one of my favorite libraries, Godfrey Library. Apparently, ProQuest/HeritageQuest Online had a problem with them and are pulling their access. Current subscribers will still have access until the end of 2006 or whenever your subscription runs out (mine does in March). New subscribers won't be given access. I am presuming this affects their census collection and on-line books. All of this was mentioned in this blog entry: <http://www.genealogyblog.com/?p=4669> In the meantime, many other libraries (especially in the San Francisco Bay area) also have access to HeritageQuest for their patrons. Regards, Ron

Ron The Ancestry (Library Edition) is not working on the Library Catalog Computers, the only way to use right now is on the Internet computers, and also a viewer is not loaded.

Surnames: KEYLOUGHER GARE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5538/UW.2ADI/2143 Message Board Post: i have now found out that my great grandfather was thomas william keylougher/gare. i have establised the complete line of robert gares children - he married 3 times first to mary ann pamplin then to eliza caseley then to emily hitcham. We think thomas william gare served in the 6th Dragoons from 1867 - 1888. He married in 1891 to a Frances Mary ROLFE. Had 4 children then moved to Canterbury. It is believed he died about 1909 and his wife went to live in southampton. His son Francis is my grandfather who served in the navy in WW1 and then joined the Met Police. There is a link with Southampton I think through Robert Gare`s brother - Richard who used the other spelling of GARE ie GEAR. I would be interested on any info re the KEYLOUGHER family.
