HeritageQuest Online

HeritageQuest Online is designed to help amateur and professional genealogists, local historians, and library patrons search and use data from the U.S. Federal Censuses from 1790 to 1930, more than 25,000 full-text family and local histories, and PERSI, a subject index of over 6,500 local history and genealogy periodicals since 1800. The database includes Revolutionary War pension and bounty-land-warrant application files, as well as the Freedman's Bank Records, an important resource for African-American genealogical research. Additionally, there are more than 250 primary-source documents such as tax lists, city directories, and probate records.
