Betty; I'm amazed that any public library offers access to Ancestry.com from home computers. I don't think they are supposed to do that, according to the info we got from our local county library system here. It has to do with their contract agreement or some such thing. HeritageQuest, however, can be reached from home with a library card number, and FamilySearch and many others are free on the internet. Is Ancestry still accessible from home through the Kenton Co. Library system?? Ann **************Create a Home Theater Like the Pros. Watch the video on AOL Home. (http://home.aol.com/diy/home-improvement-eric-stromer?video=15?ncid=aolhom00030000000001)
Ann, > Is Ancestry still accessible from home through the Kenton Co. Library > system?? Yes, it's still available. I have never paid for Ancestry.com, although I did check out the subscription version via my Aunt a few times, and realized I was satisfied with the Library version. I have been using the Library Edition AT HOME for years through various libraries, (until I got my card from Kenton County just last year). I have found MANY high school, college, and public libraries across the United States that have put their usernames and passwords on the internet, and not just for Ancestry.com. I have even found a few whose link says in-library use only, until you click on the link, then it takes you to ancestry.com, and it says Welcome Such&Such Library. I have found this to be the case with most subscription databases, not just limited to genealogy. I don't know what these webmasters are thinking, but I figure if they want to share freely with me, I gladly accept. Betty
