Heritage Quest Research Library Needs Your Help!
Heritage Quest Research Library is seeking your help to move forward.
As many of you know, on October 28, 2022, we experienced a devastating fire in the building next door to our library. Because of the smoke damage to our space, we had to remove the entire contents of our library. The books and shelving units have been through an ionization/cleaning process and are ready for us to reopen at any time.
Because of the fire, the building owner is required to do major restoration and seismic upgrades to the building that will take many months to complete. We are and have been looking for a space for many months now.
One of the major stumbling blocks to our search, is the cost per square foot, to lease a unit large enough to accommodate the library, bookstore, classroom and office space. We will be required to double the rate we were paying before the fire.
We hope that you will consider our plight and feel the need to HELP.
You can find the GoFundMe page for Heritage Quest Research Library by clicking on the link below. We sincerely Thank you for considering our request.

Courthouse Records in Colonial Virginia – Order, Deed & Wills Book

Using Historical Maps for Genealogical Research
Historical maps are crucial to genealogical research! These maps allow genealogy researchers to place our ancestors in a specific location and time. By doing so, we can begin to understand people and the land, migration patterns, and the community where an ancestor lived. By using these maps, we can reduce research time. Fortunately, many maps can be found online for FREE.
