This database was once a separate entity and a competitor for the ever popular Ancestry.com subscription database. A few years ago, Ancestry bought Heritage Quest and now it is under their corporate wing. The biggest advantage of HeritageQuest Online is that it is available from home if you have a valid CLEVNET library card number.
REMINDER: This database is found on the library's website (mcdl.info) under the "Online Resources" link and the "History and Genealogy" tab.

A draw back to HeritageQuest Online is that it doesn't have a general search box. You must choose your record category before you search.
ProQuest, who provides access to the database for libraries, had a very complete online tutorial for the database online. You can access it here:
