Yes, they did have to remove some sites due to the extreme cost being charged - the Heritage Quest was one. The GODFREY LIBRARY however did provide me with a list of Libraries in my area that did provide Heritage Quest - it was about a 1/2 hour drive to the town where the Library was, I filled out an application for a Library Card (which had a bar code number on it needed to use their on-line site) - got it for FREE, just my time to drive there, etc. I can now use this Library's Heritage Quest, but am still a member of GODFREY LIBRARY. I am on a limited income as many are, but feel that I can afford the $35 for the membership, after all, genealogy is a very serious hobby for me and I make sure that I can pay the yearly membership since they offer tons and are adding new sites for searching (they are also very helpful when you call - you actually speak with a REAL person. I also feel where can I do this searching in my PJ's 24/7 ! I also provide the GODFREY LIBRARY with the obituaries/marriage/birth section from my local newspaper (which, upon receipt, is transcribed by a volunteer of the GODFREY LIBRARY), hoping that my small input can help others in some small way. I do wish the new Director would place a note on this site as to some of the new sites they have added, I received a typed copy with my renewal notice - which I am renewing...... Thanks for reading what I have in the way of MY opinion and hope it helps someone/anyone to decide. Jan
