The New Jersey State Library announced on December 21, 2009 that State Library funded access to the Heritage Quest database would cease effective December 31, 2009. The State Library and the state’s Regional Library Cooperatives are exploring mechanisms for restoring funding for the database, but no timeline for restoration has been announced. We are exploring whether it will be feasible for the Franklin Township Public Library to continue the subscription for the remainder of this year.

In the meantime, patrons can access the Ancestry Library Edition genealogy database at the library.
