Database
We have access to a genealogy database online: HeritageQuest, which can be used either from home or inside the library. To use HeritageQuest from home, please visit the library to pick up the remote access username and password. If you have trouble logging on, don't hesitate to ask a staff member for assistance.

HeritageQuest: for home or library use Includes:
  • ProQuest's Genealogy & Local History collection
  • Complete U.S. Federal Census, 1790-1930
  • PERSI - the PERiodical Source Index.
Why can't you just give me the User ID & Password on the Web site?
This service is only available to NH library users through a contract between the database providers and the NH State Library. For that reason, we can't make the User ID & Password available via the Web, where anyone could access that information. For more information on the services that the NH State Library make available, please visit http://www.nhewlink.state.nh.us/
