About HeritageQuest Online

HeritageQuest Online is the marriage of ProQuest's Genealogy & Local History Online, a collection of over 25,000 family and local histories, and content from Heritage Quest, the largest genealogical data, products, supplies and equipment provider to consumers and institutions in the United States. In August 2001 ProQuest acquired Heritage Quest. Founded in 1983 by Bradley and Raeone Steuart, Heritage Quest has been in business for nearly 20 years and brings a wealth of genealogy data to ProQuest.

HeritageQuest Online is designed specifically for patrons in public libraries who are either just beginning their family research or who after years of work are still uncovering their past. With over 25,000 books, the entire US Census, and other expanding collections, HeritageQuest Online gives any library the chance to tap in to one of the largest collections of genealogy material in the country.
