Heritage Quest #1
What a learning adventure this has been. Today I accessed the Heritage Quest electronic resource. I found it to be much like the Ancestry challenge. I went on a search of information about my grandfather on my mom's side. In a round about way I found information on him by looking up what I thought his father's name was, only to realize that wasn't his father's name at all. My parents had led me to believe all these years that this ws true. Who I thought was his father was always referred to as his uncle. This really makes me question some things about my heritage. I also found out what my namesake is. My grandfather's sister was named Edith M., was born in October, and went by the name Edie, just like I do. OK, so this opens all new doors for me. I now have a renewed sense of identity. This resource will be beneficial to our patrons who are doing this kind of research.
