Joanne, Join the Harris County library, get a card, and you can access Heritage Quest from home. There's a link to Databases, then a Genealogy link and there you will find Heritage Quest. I find their census images really easy to use, but there is no 1850, not all of 1930 is done, and their search engine is not as sophisticated as Ancestry's. Still, very convenient for working from home, and for the other stuff I run to the closest library to use Ancestry Plus. Harris County has library card applications online, and you can fill them out online, but still have to print and take in to a branch with proof of your residence. It's worth it! Susan
