Heritage Quest Online


We are very excited about the addition of a new genealogical database to our collection. Heritage Quest Online is available in the library and can also be accessed remotely (using your library card and password). Included in the database are the following resources:
  • ~ The complete set of the U.S. Federal Census images from 1790-1930.
~ Over 25,000 family and local histories which can be searched by names of people and places.
~ PERsi (PERiodical Source Index) compiled by the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, Indiana. You can find people and places in this index of over 2.1 million genealogy and local history articles.
~ Selected records from the Revolutionary War Era Pension & Bounty-Land Warrant Application Files.

~ The Freedman's Bank (1865-1874), which was founded to serve African Americans.
~ Memorials, Petitions, and Private Relief Actions of the U.S. Congress in the Lexis-Nexis U.S. Serial Set.
For history buffs or anyone interested in finding their ancestors, this is a resource that you will definitely find fascinating.
