For the library I use, I have to go through several steps: 1. Access the library website 2. Find a selection for OPLIN and click that. 3. Then on the left of the new screen click on RESEARCH DATABASES 4. Then put in my library card #. Click that 5. Then select the branch I use. Click that 6. Then on the next page that comes up, scroll down until I find HeritageQuest and click that. 7. Finally Heritagequest is open and now I have the menu with the specific options of census, books, etc. I had a heck of a time figuring it out at first but it works great once you get it beat. And I don't believe it has Ancestry on it. (This may only be in Ohio, however, I think OPLIN is some Ohio specific program) -----Original Message----- From: germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:germany-passenger-lists-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Joanne Schmidt Sent: Saturday, September 30, 2006 10:56 PM To: german passenger list Subject: [G-P-L] using heritageQuest at home? Regarding the messages about researching at home using the library or ancestry: how do you access the library online? I have a library card for Fort Bend County in Houston, TX, and was told you could access ancestry through HeritageQuest if you had a libary card. I was told you just search the library catalog online using genealogy as the keyword, and that HeritageQuest would come up. Well, I tried that and got about 3,600 book listings instead. Can someone suggest how this dummy can do this at home? Thanks, all. Joanne Schmidt --------------------------------- All-new Yahoo!
