New Genealogy Resources at the Library

The Hernando County Public Library recently added two new e-resources for genealogists, and both are accessible from home:  Heritage Quest Online for general research; and Fold3 for military records. To get to either, click on "Research Help" on our home page, then on  "e-resources for adults". Scroll down a bit to find the logos for each and click on them. At some point, you will be prompted to enter your library card number.
