This is the first posting for the reference blog at the Northfield Public Library. I will try to highlight new (or not so new) resources, tips for searching our catalog and databases, author events, classes, etc.
Two of our most popular databases are Ancestry.com and HeritageQuest Online. Ancestry is available only in the library. HeritageQuest is available in the library and at home using your library barcode. Both include the U.S. Census and many different genealogical resources including immigration and military records. If you're interested in genealogy and haven't tried either of these you will be amazed at the depth of these two resources. We have a computer in our history room that can be used for genealogy. Just check in at the reference desk. To check out HeritageQuest Online from home just go to http://www.northfieldmn.info/ and click on Electronic Resources.
