Thanks, Darlene. However, when I go to my library online site I don't see anything there that indicates online services. I live in Houston but have my library card through Fort Bend County. I may try to get a library card in Harris county to see if that will allow me to access the Houston Public Library online--although both counties are in Houston. All I want to do is check a name in the 1930 census. My LDS local center, which is normally open on Saturday morning until 1 p.m., was closed today for some reason.

Through Heritage Quest we can get the census', PERSI, newspaper articles and books. At our library (city) and at our Family History Center they are connected to Ancestry but we have to go to either of them for that. I think the only way you can get to Ancestry from your home is to pay for their service or get one of their 14-day freebies. I have used this for the census' and finding books but nothing else.

Hi, Joanne, I just looked through the Fort Bend library site and found Ancestry, which you can access from home, but no HeritageQuest. The online services are under the heading Databases.

Susan, If you will read the last line on the Ancesrty access you will find it is only available in the library, not from home. Heratige quest can be accessed thru "TEXSHARE" which is available from home.
