OTHER RESEARCH OPTIONS

HERITAGE QUEST
Suggest you use Heritage Quest (H.Q.) that is now available Free online at the LAFHL using the ICON described above. H.Q. has all 1790 - 1930 census images online BUT only 1790, 1800, 1810, 1820, 1860, 1870, 1880, 1910 and 1920 are indexed. H.Q. has only the heads of households so it is suggested that you use the 1880, 1900 and 1920 indexes at Ancestry.com and the census index books for the other censuses to find the information needed to use the "Browse" in H.Q.. See this link for information on H.Q. http://www.lafhl.org/hqresearch.htm
