What are Heritage Quest census records? Are these on line, or purchased access?? Gloria

Gloria There was an article recently in the Lexington Herald Leader about having access to Heritage Quest in your own home through the Lexington Public Library web site. I live in an adjoining county (Woodford). Called my local library and was told that I could come to the library in Versailles and have access to Heritage Quest. Then I called the Lexington Public Library and asked about a library card. Was told that I could obtain a Lexington Public Library card if I presented my Woodford Co card. I now have a Lexington Public Library card and can access Heritage Quest from my home by accessing the Lexington Public Library web site and using the numbers on my library card as my ID and password. It is totally free.

Gloria, In Loudoun County, VA it is free to those who have a library card and can be accessed from our home computer. It may be available to you at your library; I think it depends on what type of subscription you have. Heritage Quest also has other items that are valuable to genealogists. I have found marriage info for Washington Co., VA (it had be transcribed by someone, but at least it gives you somewhere to start). I has articles and books online for quite a few places. You may be able to get your library to start a subscription. I would think if you have enough people in your county that do genealogy, the county should be responsive.

To all, I did notice some time ago that some of the census images on Genealogy.com comes from Heritage Quest. I also noticed that Heritage Quest does not have the 1850 and I believe maybe a few others that are on Genealogy.com. For whatever reason. On Genealogy.com, some of the census records are not indexed in the "Census Subscription", but if you have the "Genealogy Library Subscription" some of those are indexed.
