Welcome to Heritage Quest Research Library!

HQRL's collection includes books (over 16,000 titles), and microfiche; this facility also houses a bookstore where you can purchase genealogy books, family tree forms/charts, software and supplies.

Benefits of HQRL membership - why pay for individual data base subscriptions at home when an HQRL membership pays for seven genealogy data bases* for you to access at our library. If you want us to research for you, click here for instructions.

The Heritage Quest Research Library can be reached at (253) 863-1806. Consider taking an in-person or on-line class with us, or pay for a membership to access multiple genealogy data bases* from our library computers.

We hope to see you soon!

This is great news for our Society and genealogy researchers!
