This announcement of free viewing of the 1790, 1800, 1810, 1870, & 1890 census has been posted on some of the list that I subscribe to and quite a few people have advised that they have had problems getting to the census info. Since many of our fellow researchers are rather new at operating computers, I thought that I would list the following steps one should take to gain access: Step #1 http://librarycommission.lib.wv.us This takes you to the WEST VIRGINIA LIBRARY COMMISSION home page. Step #2 This is the home page for the WEST VIRGINIA LIBRARY COMMISSION Right under the word "WELCOME" you will find a hyperlink called Fall 2002 Database Trials Web Page you will need to click here and this will take you to the next page. Step #3 This takes you to a page called NEW DATA BASE TRIALS ANNOUNCED: Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on the hyperlink titled: HeritageQuest: http://trials.proquest.com/proquest/servlet/TrialsController?&userid=66861 (click here) Password: welcome Trial expires: 12/31/02 This online database is an important collection of unique material for genealogical research. Step #4 You should now be at the PROQUEST TRIALS PAGE and under the gray GENEALOGY BANNER click on HeritageQuest Online Step #5 You should now be at the HeritageQuest home page where you can click on either CENSUS or BOOKS. Understand that this site is very, very busy and will be very slow.......... so don't give up as long as your browser is searching for information. Another hint is that if you want to print out a census sheet you should select the "100% option" on the census page and then switch your printer into "landscape" mode. I would also adjust the "header" & "footer" settings to their wides settings so that you can print the entire page.
