I've long had a full subscription to Ancestry.com. I checked out Heritage Quest last week when the notifications arrived of free access. Although I did not get to use it extensively, I was very impressed with the census feature. It allowed me to print out a page not only showing the actual census, but it transcribed it on the same page in plain English. That's a LOT better than what Ancestry does.
