I have to tell all of you about the wonderful resource Heritage Quest is. I subscribed to it about 6 months ago for $35 a year, but understand it is available for free through some libraries. Initially, I used the censuses and census indexes. They have been a great help. Yesterday, while unsure where to pick up on my genealogy quest, I decided to delve into the 25,000 every-word-indexed book collection. WOW!!! I have found many books with references to Scott County. Scanned copies of "The History of Scott County" by Addington and "The Family History of James Dougherty" By Wm. C. Dougherty are among the books I have already downloaded. The list of names in the Dougherty book is unbelievable.....McConnell, Addington, Enix, Frazier, Wampler, Meade, Elliott, on and on...... connecting to my research in more ways than I can figure out at this moment! I HIGHLY recommend all Scott County researchers check this resource out! I started taking notes from the Dougherty book, only to find I was copying the entire book! I have decided to make a separate file in my FTM based on this book. I am a visual person, so when I am through I can print a tree to help me see exactly where and how I connect to James Dougherty. Then I will start documenting the information. Happy Hunting! Susan/ CA
