Stephanie, long time no 'talkee'. Sorry. I used to have the passwords etc to get into Heritage Quest but due to computer break down, any advice as to how to go about getting that 'site' back. It was a great help in my research.. I got the passwords from the local library here in Paris, Tx. but I 'm deaf and can't use phone and no longer drive... duh.. Any suggestions or maybe you've an option or national list for use.
