Genealogy Resources

The Scott County Library deals a lot with people conducting genealogy research. We have a room with many local resources on genealogy, but we also provide a great way for people to search our databases. We subscribe to Ancestry.com which can only be accessed in the library and we also subscribe to Heritage Quest. The latter is the one used most frequently and it contains all sorts of census data, military records, and family records. It is a great resource that makes the process of genealogy a lot more convenient. Of course, many of the records that people need to complete their family trees are still in hard copy only. But it's a great start and a way to get quick results.
