Genealogical Research
Your Library and the McCreary County Historical/Genealogical Society have joined together to provide two new resources that use technology to make tracing family trees easier.
HeritageQuest provides complete US Federal Census information from 1790-1930, as well as a genealogy and local history collection of 25,000+ family and local history books. Home users, please click HERE. You will be prompted to enter your library card barcode.
The Ancestry Library Edition collection has approximately 4,000 databases, including key collections such as U.S. federal census images and indexes from 1790 to 1930; the Map Center containing more than 1,000 historical maps; American Genealogical Biographical Index (over 200 volumes), Daughters of the American Revolution Lineage (over 150 volumes), The Great Migration Begins: Immigrants to New England, 1620-1630, Social Security Death Index, WWI Draft Registration Cards, Federal Slave Narratives, and a strong Civil War collection. (This service is not available for remote use; It may be accessed only inside the library.)
