    1. Re: [NJSUSSEX-L] Ancestry vs. Heritage Quest, vs. Genealogy.com libraries on ...
    2. Hi Sussex group, I have recently had excellent "luck" with Heritage Quest, although I've subscribed to Ancestry.com for several years. Here in Texas we have free access to Heritage Quest through the Texas State Library. I have a login and password and can spend hours at my home computer having a grand time--now if I just had more time, it would be grand! So far I've mainly used the census records and sometimes have used them in conjunction with Ancestry.com and the LDS site, FamilySearch.org. However, my Sussex and Orange Co., NY, roots go further back than the census records so, other than verifying where someone was at certain times, there aren't any census records to help me solve my particular mystery--which is, where did John Hough, who probably died in Wantage around 1830, and his ancestors really come from? Warm regards, Marilyn Hough Stern, Austin, TX (formerly from Ulster Co., NY) In a message dated 2/15/2005 7:20:53 PM Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: I have been using Heritage Quest through a library. It has the census records & hundreds of books about Sussex County that can be read on line or downloaded & printed. The offer no CDs but who needs them. The Rev. War pension records are wonderful. Check with you local library to see if they have the service. I prefer Heritage Quest to Ancestry.
