HI All -
The Directors of the many libraries in our Library System voted a few months
ago to acquire a subscription to Heritage Quest for all of our libraries via
our System Headquarters. At our last All Directors meeting, however, the
system staff member responsible for database subscription acquisitions said
that she had had no luck with getting a sales rep from Proquest to work with
her. She said she was therefore giving up on acquiring Heritage Quest for
us this year, which disappointed all of us. So:
Can any of you recommend a SPECIFIC sales rep for Heritage Quest who can
work with our staff person? We want someone who will answer ALL of her
calls and e-mails, and who work closely with her regarding the specific
needs of our large (5 county) library system. I know this staffer and
she's really bright and not at all tough to work with, so it shouldn't be
difficult to answer her questions and provide the information she needs.
Back many moons ago when I was a Genealogy Department Head down South I
worked with a great sales rep at Heritage Quest (was his name Jerry?) who
was always there for any question I had. We spent lots of money with him!
But that was long ago and many mergers and takeovers ago, and I don't know
who to contact. Has Proquest gotten too large and corporate to properly
market and profit from library subscriptions to Heritage Quest?
Anyway, any tips about GREAT salespeople for Heritage Quest would be very
welcome.
Thanks!
Amy Hay

Hi there,
Our library is situated just north of Brisbane in Queensland Australia. We don't get much call for American research and as a result my expertise in this area is limited.
We have a client who is looking for an Alfred Henry FOXFORD, born 1880 in Queensland Australia. Alfred left for America about 1912. I have his entry from Canada into the USA in 1912 but can find nothing after that. Family legend has it that he wrote to his mother from 'the Rockies' and then she never heard from him again and assumed he was dead. Alfred's mother died in 1923. Any clues as to where I could possibly find a death for Alfred?
I have checked through census records and have found a FOXFORD family but they appear to have originated in Scandanavia. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Pat Gee

Pat, I sent you an email directly. I will�help you and see what I can find. Manifest of Passengers, you mentioned,�indicates Alfred's destination was San Francisco, but he did not have a paid ticket. I did not see him in the death or marriage records in California. He had $1150 cash in his possession and doesn't�indicate he is joining a�family member or friend when asked. So it is possible he went�to the Rockies instead. I'll send you a copy of the image�of the two page form and the detailed transcription for your patron in case he doesn't have it. I provided my personal contact via private email. I look forward to working with you. I have a few other items for review to determine if it is your Alfred Foxford.
