- Benefits
There is a new benefit to being a member of the Ozark County Historical and Genealogical Society. Members may now access Heritage Quest online. Heritage Quest includes the indexed U. S. census for all states and for almost all years the census was taken. Other items of historical and genealogical interest are also available on Heritage Quest. Members may also access Sanborn Maps online. Sanborn Maps includes two early 1900s maps of Bakersfield and one of Gainesville. OCGHS is able to offer this service via a "company card" through the Greene County Library. OCGHS members can e-mail Linda Hannaford, OCGHS treasurer, at ljhannaford@centurytel.net to get the directions for accessing this new service. Or send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Hannaford at OCGHS, Box 4, Gainesville, MO 65655, and she will mail the directions.
