No Longer Available-Free Census
RE: Census Records Available.
I apologize for the inconvenience & confusion
surrounding the free census access message.
For whatever reason, it does not seem
to be available/accessible any longer.
Along with this message, I am forwarding
the message trail for reference.

... The site was accessible for a short time
after the initial posting ..., but I also could not
access it yesterday when I tried again.

At the suggestion of someone on this list, I went to
http://librarycommission.lib.wv.us to check out the free (until December
30) census images online. Once at this site the following instructions
were given -
Click: FALL 2002 DATABASE TRIALS WEB PAGE
scroll down
select HERITAGE QUEST
password: welcome
I can only get to the Fall 2002 Database trials
Web Page, when I scroll down there is no
clickable link to Heritage Quest. Instead I
see the message "Access to HeritageQuest
is restricted to use in West Virginia libraries.
Visit your local public library to explore this great
source of information."
Has anyone had success in getting to the
census images? Is there a url that takes you
there by bypassing the above West Virginia Library site?

This is what I call a terrific link. You just saved me a trip down to
the
archives. Not bad even on my dial-up line.
