[Genealib] re: census records

[Scott Lucas]

Cheri,

I would agree with Sandy. You are probably aware of this... Kansas
residents who have a Kansas library card can access Heritage Quest free
through the state databases from any location.

Cheri

I would state that your best investment would be to get subscription
databases. 

Ancestry.com has Ancestry Library Edition that is available to public
libraries. Contact them directly for fee. Its not cheap but best way to
go. With microfilm you have no search feature so indexes must be
prepared and this is labor intensive. With online databases you can
search without having this problem.

Another  subscription database is:

Heritage Quest

While it does not have all the census it does contain quite a bit of
info. Contact me off list if you want more details on these two
databases.

	I need the collective wisdom out in the land of all-knowing
genealogists.  I may have the opportunity to purchase census records,
thanks to a generous donor.  Who do I contact about this, is it
available in fiche/film/CD, and approximately what is the cost?  Our new
library will open in September with a genealogy room.  For the past
year, I have been accumulating information shared by all of you, and it
has helped me purchase new equipment, books, and given me a lot of
guidance in the "how to" start up.  Thanks to all of you, Cheri
