Interested in genealogy? Curious about your family history? Then HeritageQuest Online is the database for you!

Created in conjunction with Ancestry.com, this easy to use database allows you to search U.S. Census records from as far back as 1790, along with city directories, mortality schedules, agricultural and industrial schedules, and more!


Search through Revolutionary War records and Freedman’s Bank records to see if you can trace your roots to two of the most tumultuous and transformative times in U.S. history.


View historical State maps that show the changes in boundaries and names that the counties or parishes that your ancestors lived in may have gone through since the U.S. Census began.
