For anyone in the Los Angeles area, your L.A. Public Library card is all you need to get into Heritage Quest (and many more databases). Their address is: http://www.lapl.org/ and then go to "databases." Enjoy! Lorraine Latta In a message dated 2/15/2005 2:55:13 PM Pacific Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Bob, I live in Calif. Are you saying that the Sussex Co., NJ, library will issue me (an out of state patron) a library card? Helen Graves Lake Almanor, CA PS - I just got a reply from the Calif. State Library. They do NOT offer Heritage Quest to patrons. They do not subscribe to Heritage Quest's online databases. Sutro Library in S.F. does have a subscription to the magazine. I guess I'd better write Arnold about this... he's looking for ways to bring California out of the red. :-)

Lorraine: I noticed your surname "Latta" Any tie ins to Latta's that lived in Sussex County or New York's Hudson Valley??? My great great grandmother Abbie Haight Booth (1859-1926) who lived in Hamburg and was the wife of George S. Booth, Sr (1849-1925) had a sister Mary Haight Latta (1854-1941) who was married to a James Newkirk Latta a native of (or born in) Ellenville, Ulster County, NY. James and Mary lived in Hamburg in Sussex County during the 1880's and 90's and lived near my great great grandparents. The Latta's eventually moved back to NY and lived in the Hillburn-Suffern area of Rockland County. The Latta's had a number of children all whose names i cant remember off the top of my head but i do have them. If this sounds familiar or if there is a tie in let me know and i can get that stuff out. The Haight's are a very old family in New York's Hudson Valley region especially in Orange, Putnam, and Dutchess Counties. Mary and Abbie were born in Arden, Orange County...but grew up in an area that would now be located in the City of Beacon, Dutchess County.
