Do you think Ancestry is too expensive? Can't afford a membership in a genealogy society that has Heritage Quest? Heritage Quest has the census, PERSI, Revolutionary War pension records and a huge collection of old histories and genealogies. Here's some less expensive options. The Tazewell County {Illinois} Genealogical & Historical Society has access to Heritage Quest and Sanborn maps for it's members. Cost is $12 in addition to the membership fee of $15. Total $27. A bargain. http://www.tcghs.org/heritagequest.htm The Godfrey Library has access to Heritage Quest and a newspaper collection. Cost is $35. http://www.godfrey.org/OnlineResources2.html The New England Historic Genealogical Society has 2200 databases including their own register, a highly respected genealogical journal. It does not include Heritage Quest. However, if you have masses of New England ancestors this is the place to go. $75. Also, they have a massive library and members can borrow books for a fee. The books are nationwide, some even international, not just New England. Well worth the fee if you need those books. http://www.newenglandancestors.org/ I'm sure there are more sites.

You also may be able to access Heritage Quest by getting a user name and password from your local public library. I did and use Heritage Quest from home as well as my subscription Ancestry.com.
