This is just hitting the news today, but I’m not sure when this went live… The Asheville-Buncombe Library system has a deal with heritagequest to access genealogy resources online (Census data, selected Revolutionary war (pension/land bounty) records, and a book and article database are available.) The login is only for Asheville-Buncombe library card holders at this time (although other library systems may have similar arrangements.) The link is available here and the 13 digit library card number is to be entered with no spaces.
From the library site…
You may also access Heritage Quest, a leading online resource for genealogy data thru the Asheville-Buncombe Library System. You will need to enter your library card number (all 13 digits with no spaces) to access the database online. Click here to go to Heritage Quest.
Something tells me my library card number is going to get taped to the monitor…. I was wondering to do with all my free time between 1 and 6 am…..
