Heidi - Anyone can subscribe to the Godrey library, but you can access Heritagequest through a subscription to the Charter-Pierce Memorial Internet Genealogical Society of Des Moines, IA http://www.charter-pierce.org/ and access it from home. If your genealogy research is in Iowa this might make more sense for you. However, Godfrey has other resources available - some Irish resources, African American, the Historical New York Times, and another newspaper database which name I can't think of right now. Check your local libraries to see what they offer - many have these databases that you can access from home with your library card. Some libraries offer local newspapers and other historical information pertaining to the area they cover.
