For all y'all who also reside in Texas, I've discovered that access to the
HeritageQuest databases is available through TEXSHARE "interlibrary" system,
http://www.tsl.state.tx.us/cgi-bin/texs ... nticate.pl
The login page of Texshare has links to lists of public and academic libraries
throughout the state which offer access to the Texshare collection. You may
obtain a login name and password from the library nearest you. Please note,
this is available only to Texas residents.
Hope this helps somebody else. I'm delighted to have found this connection and
hope others may benefit from it, as well.

Hugh,
Yeah, I'm aware of that, but access is usually contingent upon residence in,
e.g., a particular city or county. Then there are/were the for-a-fee sites,
like the Godfrey... I'm not claiming that my discovery ranks up there with
beer or sliced bread, just that HQ _is_ available, for free, within Texas, by
pushing the right buttons. If folks want to take advantage of it, great; if
not, fine by me.

For those who find $100+ a year more than pocket change HQ is much
better than no bread. I merely hoped to address some researchers you
might have missed with a possibility. Doing without beer is not a
problem - I've done that for several decades. But I'd miss sliced
bread and HQ.
