Debbie, that is a good suggestion. I can use Heritage Quest from home through my public library and my card is my password. You could ask your library if they have it. Another good free site is www.myheritage.com. They have free stuff and things that are not free. www.gencircles.com is a good site to look for other people working on the same families as you are and www.rootsweb.com is a very good free site with a lot of archives and it does have search engines.
