Big oops folks... it's NOT Ky Gen Soc that gives it's members the pw for Heritage Quest... it's Ky Historical Society. Here's the link. http://history.ky.gov/Research/Online_Resources.htm#sub Sorry!

Hi Carrie, Thanks for your accurate description of Heritage Quest and your comparison of Heritage Quest and Ancestry. While I use both Heritage Quest and Ancestry, they both offer some unique differences in some of the search methods that you can use. For example, I have found some information using Advanced Search methods on Heritage Quest that I was unable to locate on Ancestry. I used a combination of First Name (William), Age (31-40) and Birthplace (Missouri) which yielded scads of names. But when I then searched down the stage list and focused on Military and Naval, I was able to locate William Galbraith serving in the Spanish-American War in Puerto Rico. His last name was misspelled Galbrraith which prevented me from locating it using his last name. Place of birth for both of his parents provided supporting evidence. All of my earlier searches in Illinois and Missouri had been unsuccessful. (It would have helped if I had known that he was a Spanish American War veteran. Only a trip to the cemetery provided that clue. It also would have helped if I had paid more attention in American History class.) On the other hand, Ancestry does offer the advantage of searching using an * after the first five letters of a last name in order to locate all last names built around those first five letters. I have found that to be quite advantageous in that I don't seem to be able to conjure up all of the possible ways of misspelling my relatives names. For those of you who search the State of Illinois records, be sure to take advantage of that flexible search engine. I was very frustrated when I could not locate my grandfather, Fred Bergmire, in the death record file even when I knew the county and death date. Finally I stopped being so accurate and decided to just search part of the last name. Using Bergm gave me too many returns. I got all those Bergmans. So I added the letter i and searched Bergmi. Scanning just a few names brought a big smile to my face when I found Grandpa listed as Fred Bergmira. Somebody along the way misread a letter which resulted in Grandpa being changed from a German to an Italian. Regardless I was able to get a copy of the death certificate. I would love to hear other suggestions on advanced techniques used in searching Heritage Quest and Ancestry.

I just came across this info and thought some of you might be interested. It's only good through Wed, so if you have some searching to do....hurry!

Nancy, Thanks so much for having those records checked for me. That was super and I really appreciate it.

I think I heard somewhere that access to Heritage Quest is only available through library sources. Not all libraries have a subscription to Heritage Quest though. You might check with your library to make sure that they do. My library does, and all I have to do is enter my library card number and pin to get access.

I forgot to mention that Heritage Quest has the 1900 census,for all 50 states while Ancestry.com has only a few states for 1900. Heritage Quest also has the 1910 census images liked to their search engine, while Ancestry.com does not ythat is, you can search on Ancestry.com, but you will then have to browse the census images to find what you're looking for.

For those of you who are not familiar with Heritage Quest: Some libraries offer free access to this service. Heritage Quest has on-line, searchable censuses from all 50 states, from 1790 to 1920 (searchable by head of household only), and they are working on getting 1930 up. They also have searchable, printable, and downloadable images of hundreds of public domain books and other publications, such as "History of Madison County, Illinois (Illustrated)", published 1882; "Centennial history of Madison County, Illinois, and its people 1812 to 1912", and "Gazeteer of Madison County", published 1866. I have access through the St. Louis City Public Library, and if you work within the City limits, you are entitled to a free library card. I also have access through the St. Louis County library. At one time, the Edwardsville and Collinsville libraries offered access, but I didn't see that on their website, and since I don't have cards with them, I didn't check. Lorraine has recently posted my notes regarding the holdings and services of several area libraries on our Madison County website. Click below to see what's available at the Collinsville, Edwardsville, and Granite City libraries in Madison County, at the Belleville Library in St. Clair County, and at the St. Louis City and St. Louis County libraries. If anyone else has information on what's available at other libraries, I urge you to share it with us by sending the information to Lorraine for posting.

Marie, I have access to Heritage Quest through the St. Louis City and St. Louis County libraries and have not had any problem accessing it. Not all libraries offer this service.

Hi Marie, I have no idea what Heritage Quest does, but if you type it in the search page, there are a zillion pages. One said something about access. And it says you need a password. Sorry I can't help you, but perhaps you know what all that gobbledegook means. Rev Everts

Hello Everyone, I am sending this out to all the groups I belong to hoping that someone can enlighten me. I have been trying to access for over one week Heritage Quest Online through my local library and have not been able to. In addition, when I try to go to Heritage Quest Online from the main Heritage Quest webpage, I cannot get through and always get a page error. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this?
