Cathy, did your friend get the password to work, to access the Freemont Public Library? I did not get it to work for me. How do you sign up, so they won't say it is invalid?Thought I would ask, I kept waiting for yo to come back with" Can't get it to work' Stella

As far as I know she did not get it to work. She said she signed up for it and then she said, Now what? She did not explain what happened next after she signed up for username and password. But apparently it must have did nothing or took her to a screen that went no where or ???. I did not try it. I can not remember on that page that comes up if it says.... if you are not already a registered member click here or something to that.... seems all it said was to type in username and password and may be if you have forgotten your password click here. I do not understand why we could get into it and then couldn't. If it was for a free trial. Seems there should have been something there to say this. Although my cousin did say she seen this free trial some where and may be try it. Guess I should go back and just see what I can find out..

Ok.. found out this much, this is what the library says about the database. Access to the Genealogy Online database - An Explanation Recently, many people from outside our legal service area have been using a database that is available through our website. This is an explanation of why many of you can no longer use this database. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Dear Researcher; This comes as a response to your inquiry regarding access to our HeritageQuest database. We recently discovered that the online product was improperly configured by the vendor. This error was allowing access to the product to ANYONE for free, which is in violation of our licensing agreement. That error has now been corrected. I regret to inform you that only those in our service area with a valid library card are allowed access. While we have briefly explored the idea of "charging" those out of our immediate service area, at this time our organization is not yet large or sophisticated enough to be able to administrate such a thing. As a "silver lining", however -- the responses we have received have been wonderful validations of both the product and the communications network among genealogists. We urge you to approach your local public library and encourage them to invest in HeritageQuest. I would also like to express my appreciation to all of your nice compliments and remarks concerning our website. We are grateful for your understanding and comments.

Becoming a member of Heritage does not give you access to online data. It says you have to go to Genealogy.com for that. ONLY $29.95 per year That's less than $2.50 per month DOES NOT INCLUDE HERITAGEQUEST ONLINE ACCESS. Visit Genealogy.com for individual subscription to U.S. Census and Genealogy & Local History online collections. I am a member of Genealogy.com. I have the normal subscription, what ever that is called and the 1900 census subscription. They recently announced a new census database. But most are still only browseable. I just checked again and it says when complete they will have from 1790 to 1930 census. Right now the only two that have indexed links are 1810 and 1900. The census images they have browseable are: 1910 . 1900 . 1870 . 1840 . 1820 . 1810 . 1800 . 1790 Which if your a member of Ancestry.com you already have access to these all and more (1790-1930) browseable. And with links to more then genealogy.com has at this time. Back to the issue. As you can see there is not any 1870 indexed on genealogy.com. Apparently libraries can get a subscription to special things?? Too bad one of us did not have an Allen Co. Library card... hehehe.
