It certainly is good to join the NEHGS and the NYGBS for what they have available, but I would not join them ONLY for their current ability to offer Heritage Quest to their members. Like with Godfrey a few months back, all these societies may be dropped by HQ or priced out of subscriptions when the current contracts expire. Since many public libraries offer at home access to people they serve, anyone wanting access to Heritage Quest should check first with their own library and larger library system. They should also advocate for HQ if it is not available to them. Public money tends to flow where people ask for services. Margaret Scheffler ----- Original Message ----- From: Subject: [ROOTS-L] Genealogical Society Access to Heritage Quest ....The NYGBS also has Heritage Quest and will until sometime in 1907 when the contract expires. It's not as expensive as the NEGS. I think about $60 a year. Barbara
