I access Heritage Quest from my home computer through my local library's on-line site. I stumbled across it one day while renewing books. It's been great for census look-ups. Have also found other information on ancestors in printed articles accessible through Heritage Quest.

I am also able to access Heritage Quest from home via the Library's on-line subscription, but I am new to using it. So far I have only been able to search with exact spellings of surnames. Is there a way to do a "soundex" search?
