The purpose of the site is to help people find specific datasets or resources for their area of interest. It is hoped that people will discover new sources through the more than 1100 links which are presented. Many are briefly described and all have coloured symbols attached.
Links with a red ‘Commercial’ symbol indicate a resource provided by a commercial website, although sometimes searching the index or transcription may be available without payment.
Links with green ‘Free’ symbol can be seen by anyone at no cost.
Links which show both a red and a green symbol represent a commercial site which has partnered with FamilySearch to allow this dataset to be seen for free at a FamilySearch Centre. The complete institutional versions of Ancestry, FindMyPast, MyHeritage, TheGeneralogist and other FamilySearch partners are available in all FamilySearch Centres.
This site is FamilySearch friendly because the owner is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Sorry, but links for the US and Canada are not included under Countries with British Connection in order to make the size of the site more manageable.
