Genealogical research is changing at such a fast pace that I would like to make you aware of several major changes in sources for your research: 1. AncestryPlus (all parts of ancestry.com and Filby’s Immigration books) is available at the Arizona State Library, your local Family History Center and all Maricopa County Public Libraries. 2.The Glendale Public Library System also has ProQuest census (a fully indexed 1870 US census) and local history books (many genealogies, city directories, old county histories, typescript cemetery readings, etc. etc.). You must be a resident of Glendale to obtain a free library card for this or pay for a card as a non-resident. You are supposed to be able to access from home using your Glendale library card, but currently I have had to use this data base at the library. 3.AncestryPlus is accessible from your home if you have a Maricopa County Library card. If you can prove you live in Maricopa County with two pieces of ID with your address on them, you can get a library card (yes, even if you live in Sun City or Sun City West). The closest Maricopa County libraries are in Surprise at 15844 N. Hollyhock (opening new library soon at 16089 N. Bullard Avenue); 17811 N 32nd St Phoenix AZ, 85032; Wickenburg; Laveen; and Litchfield Park. When you get your Maricopa County Library card you also need to set up a pin# (usually the last 4 digits of your phone #). >From your home you now can log onto http://www.maricopa.gov/library. On the right side of your screen click on Articles and Information and then AncestryPlus. Thanks go to Jean White, Marina Dececo and Del Kunz who have been testing the ins and outs of these sites.
