    1. Out of towners can get Heritage Quest

    3. The Godfrey Library in Middletown CT offers access to Heritage Quest through its web site. The web site is: http://www.godfrey.org/ You pay $35.00 for a library card and you get access to Heritage Quest as well as to other really helpful on line resources. In my opinion, Heritage Quest alone is worth $35.00 per year. During the week, you can call the library at (860) 346-4375 to register and start using their online resources right now if you pay using a credit card. I told a family member about this and he has recently signed up. He says it is really helpful - especially the automated on line books in Heritage Quest. A lot of folks overlook that feature but I have found cemetery transcriptions, city directories and in one case a book that was written about a judge that mentioned his wife - my relly! Apparently there is a lot of good stuff in the Godfrey Library's on line subscription. I am not trying to sell anything here. I have Heritage Quest. St. Louisans can get it through the Public Library and the St. Louis County library. Their subscriptions limit access to people who are qualified to hold library cards. The Godfrey Memorial Library has an "open" subscription so that anybody can get a library card and get access to Heritage Quest and their other on line resources. If anybody signs up (or already is signed up) through the Godfrey Library, would you please e-mail me and tell me what you think of it? I am sure the Heritage Quest will be there, but I have heard that there are other resources available that might be worth the investment of $35.00 by others as well. I am particularly interested to see if they have archives of on-line New York newspapers. We have the New York Times on our subscription to Heritage Quest through the St. Louis County library and I have used that a lot. I wonder if there are New Jersey papers or the New York Herald there. Thanks a lot Diane Shaw Soggy in Hillsboro, MO
