Sandra, Thanks for posting this information. If your local library does not have Heritage Quest, it is free to Texas residents through the Texas State Library. You do have to register with them to obtain log in information in order to use from your home computer. I think out-of-state researchers can subscribe for a fee, but I am not sure that is still the case. You should be able to contact the state library through www.tsl.state.tx.us.
