NH Co. has joined with several other NC libraries to offer this service. Check with your local library Carl Pridgen CPrid10125@aol.com

Hello, when you do call the library be sure to ask if they subscribe to either Heritage Quest or Ancestry on line as I've seen some with Ancestry Databases. ~Marie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet K.

A lot of libraries offer this service. You might contact your local library and see if they offer this service. The one we go to does and it is very nice. Books are also some are available. Beulah

Well gang . . . . it appears that all good things must come to an end. My thinking is that they were so overwhelmed by the interest, that their servers were working overtime to meet the demand and they had to stop the service. I sent them a note to see if it would be open again, but have not heard. Will post something if they contact me again.

This is not the end of HeritageQuestOnline's service. There are a great many libraries across the country who subscribe to this service, and all you have to do is call your local library to see if they are members. If so, one day while you are in town, drop by the library to pick up their password. Anyone can access HeritageQuestOnline any time they want from their home computer using your own library 's assigned password. I know lots of people who use it from home frequently. I keep my library's password taped to the top of my computer monitor. I can access Heritage Quest as easily as I can access Rootsweb or USGenWeb or any other site. If your local library does not subscribe, check with other towns nearby - one of them surely is a member. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob Carter" <gravehunter@triad.rr.com> To: <NCROOTS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 6:35 PM Subject: Re: [NCROOTS] Heritage Quest online > Well gang . . . . it appears that all good things must come to an end.

This website requires a Username and Password. Is this a free site or for fee. How do you contact to access either way? JL Goodson

Dear NCROOTS List: I think this site has been pulled altogether by the Riverside Library. Last night and this morning I could not get into it. I tried again a little while ago and there is nothing to click on now to get into the site. We will no doubt see other emails about it.

Hello, Bob this site is so great!!! Thank you for sending it out to the list!! I have been hunting like crazy, and have found many records that I was lacking!! I cannot begin to thank you enough for this kindness! :) Sincerely, Cheryl Molino, Fl.

I think many people don't know how to use SEARCH ENGINES, easier to ask someone to do the research. Google is a favorite, key in the name of a town, county & state, a surname with Genealogy such as TRIPP GENEALOGY and you will be amazed what you learn. www.Profusion.com is a good search engine, scroll down to genealogy, click and key in the name and it will query about half a dozen sources. You will sometimes get different info just by using PROFUSION without opening genealogy. You can query just a surname or a full name. Be gutsy and look! Nancy Researching PARRISH, GUPTON & JOYNER

Elizabeth you are correct...I think she is looking for counties and not towns Davidson County was formed in 1822 from Rowan County Rowan County was formed in 1753 from Anson County

I found this site thru an article in the November issue of "Our State" magazine. The title of the article is "Crossing Paths." The Trading Path Assoc. tracks the outlines of an ancient transportation corridor across the Piedmont North Carolina. I believe many will be interested in this site.

Hey Elizabeth! You got me on that one. Can you say "DUH!" I used to live down that way (Gaston County) and should have remembered that.
