Alice- Please forgive but I do not see a search engine for Census, books, Persi and Rev. War on the first page of Heritage Quest. I see a sur name search engine and one for Products which includes Books. Selecting Books and typing Marshall County in the search box results in "No Results" There is also a Categories list. "Books" takes one to a special page which does not list People, Places, Publications. Can you suggest a better navigation route please? Does one have to be a member of Heritage Quest to get to the page you were so kind to make reference to?

These instructions are step by step as I have taken them from my local Library's web site. You either have to be a member of Heritage Quest, or your library does, and you would probably need to be a library card holder. At least I do. Check with your local library--if they have a website it should be listed there.

Alice- Thank you very much. I think you have clearly explained why my route to Heritage Quest did not work. Will try again.
