Pence" <richardpence@pipeline.com> Heritage Quest has all years of the census except 1900 available for online browsing, including the ability to call up specific locations and pages. Many libraries that offer Heritage Quest (public libraries, historical societies, and genealogical societies) also offer remote access to it available (from outside the library) by using your library or membership card number to log on. Yes, only the years listed above are indexed by HQ so far. However, it's not at all difficult with remote access, to within 24 hours at most, get the reference numbers needed from the LDS online abstract of 1880 or through the census-lookup mailing lists for each state that HQ hasn't finished indexing (1900, 1930, and part of 1920), and then find the actual images for yourself on HQ. None of the online providers of census data have everything you could want available yet, but they've done an outstanding job of ensuring that their services compliment one another, being most advantageous to each of the companies and to us as well.
