If you have a NY state library card, you can access the Heritage Quest program through for FREE, through your being a member of the library system. Call or contact the larger libraries in either Albany, Syracuse or Rochester for more details. I've been told some of the smaller town libraries may also have this available, but I would contact one of the 3 larger ones, that have genealogy departments to get more detail on the FREE usage of Heritage Quest, through your library. I live out of state, but have a NY state card, because when I go there, I do research. I'm sure others on this list are more familiar with how to sign up for this very useful tool, since you can view Census records from your home, 24/7 and its FREE. Other items besides the census are available for viewing, so contact one of the larger libraries (you can use google to find them), and ask. It never hurts to ask. Dianne

Not my library........ and here where I live in NYS we must join the library that services our zone (meaning our home address). No exceptions!! We can't even borrow books directly from a nearby library. I've been going thru this for y-e-a-r-s.

I have contacted Rochester, NY which has access to all Monroe County Libraries. They have no Heritage Quest nor any other such service ----- Original Message ----- From: "quillpen1" <quillpen1@optonline.net> To: <GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, March 01, 2006 4:34 PM Subject: Re: Godfrey Library & Hertage Quest > Not my library........ and here where I live in NYS we must join the library > that services our zone (meaning our home address).
