See the following postings regarding accessing Heritage Quest for free from home if your
library subscribes to Heritage Quest, as mine does.
As mentioned in previous postings, the book "History of the Carlock Family," by
Marion Pomeroy CARLOCK, is available through this source. See the following site for
additional sources for viewing or purchasing copies of this book:

Hi Carolyn
Heritage Quest Online features three significant genealogy resources: The
complete U. S. Census, 1790-1930, features new and more accurate indexes (in
progress), searchable by place of birth, age, ethnicity, etc. (Click on the
"What's New" link in the database to determine which indexes have been
completed.) The fully searchable Periodical Source Index (PERSI) features more than
1.6 million citations from 6,500 genealogy periodicals. Heritage Quest's online
collection of more than 25,000 family and local history books are searchable
by every word.

Milly,
Does Heritage Quest just have census records?? I have Ancestry and not
familiar with Heritage Quest.

I'd like to offer a little tip about the census records on HQ. If you want
to print a census page, scroll to the top and click on "Download" and then
"View". The image will come up in Adobe Acrobat. Then you can use the little
icon on their tool bar to outline just the part of the census page that you want
- thus eliminating all the black area that is around some of them, or the
folded area from the previous page. In other words, you can just outline the
actual census page. Then use the Print icon in the Adobe tool bar and click on
the little button to make the image fit the page. The prints come out much
nicer, and I've gotten some much better prints from HQ than the ones I got from
using film from the library.
Happy hunting
Joanne

Subject: Accessing Heritage Quest from home with library card
See the following posting from another list. I tried accessing Heritage Quest with my San
Antonio Public Library card and it worked! You do need to go through your public
library's Internet site to access it, though.
... There is a wealth of information available at this site, including census records and
some hard-to-find books. (I wish I had tried this a long time ago!) ...

Hi List
Did you know if your county library has access to Heritage Quest and you
have a library card, you can access the census records from your home? and it's
FREE through the library. If your library don't subscribe ...why not BEG them
