This should enter you into the Heritage Quest site.
IF YOU HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HERITAGE QUEST SITE,
or if at this point you are asked for an ID and a password, there are
several things to check for:
A. If you have personal firewall
software, check that "referring URL" blocking is "disabled."
For most users, this step does the trick.
B. The cookies setting on your browser must be "enabled."
C. For Internet Explorer users, the security setting must be set to "medium
low."
D. For IE 6.0 and up, the user's privacy setting must be set to "low."
E. Java scripting on your browser must be "enabled."
F. If you are still having problems, clear your cache and delete all temporary
Internet files. Reboot.
Beyond these steps, the Library Staff is unable to provide
technical support for your computer.
