If you want access through Radford Public Library, make sure you go to the **public library** and not the Radford University Library. Talk to the public librarian named Brack (rhymes with "tack"). There's a conflict between Heritage Quest and Norton Anti-Virus software. You won't be able to access HQ until you've changed a setting or 2 in Norton. Just a minor thing....you won't have to disable Norton. Brack can walk you through how to do this. It's simple & he's very patient. Radford Public Library also subscribes to the library version of Ancestry.com. Brack says it has different items than the "public" subscription. Unfortunately, the library version of Ancestry is only available in the library...you can't access from home. But, you **can** access HQ from home using your Radford Public Library card number. Bottom line...If you live in the New River Valley, it's well worth your time to go to the Radford Public Library, & sign up for a card. The librarians there are "into" genealogy, know how to order microfilms for you, keep their microfilm readers in working order, and are building a genealogy collection.

In the Tidewaterarea I learned from Steve that VA Beach offers it and so does Portsmouth. Fairfax & Arlington would be good for those in the DC area. Keep in mind that I'm sure there are more than just what I've listed here. Hope this helps.
