Where
to find Census data?
On-line
By MEMBERSHIP or FREE
(some free)
Ohio
Genealogical Society ... If you are a member of the Ohio
Genealogical Society, you can access Heritage Quest Online (see
green box below) as one of the benefits of your
membership. Also you will get their great publications,
and access to their library and lending library.
Your local
library ... Many libraries across the country allow remote
access (from your home computer) to the Heritage Quest Online website,
all you need is a current library card. Many Ohio
libraries subscribe to this service through OPLIN
(Ohio Public Library Information Network). Other states
also have similar systems which allow remote access ... if
you're not an Ohio resident, check out the website of your local
library, or state library to see if they allow access, and how
to go about getting your own library card from that institution.
The Oberlin
(Ohio) Public Library allows free public access to Heritage
Quest through their website by going to their site and clicking
on the "Heritage Quest Online" link.
