Hi Marlene, I'm in Texas, so it's the state that supports the program of HeritageQuest to the local Librarys. It is wonderful to have at your finger tips at home, and has really helps me research all my family. Don't think this is a membership type program like Ancestry.com. Don't know where in PA you are living, but if you are close to Reading, I would check with the local Genealogy societies and see if they could help you. I loved researtch work in Reading, PA, so much to find on your families. Also another site that helps, is Find A Grave, more people are putting on family information and even pictures that are wonderful to find. Sure hope you can find a way to get HertiageQuest at home.
