FREE Access to WWI Military & British/Irish Census Records at Findmypast Starts TODAY (ends 4 July 2016)


FREE Access to WWI Military & British/Irish Census Records -- FindmyPast (27 June - 4 July 2016)

From Findmypast

In commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme, we've made our 65 million world military records and over 265 million British and Irish censuses FREE for a week. Find your family making history in the most comprehensive collection of British Army records from World War 1 available online.

Dick Eastman (Eastman’s Online Genealogy Newsletter) provides a good overview of this offering.

Even though I am half English, I have yet to find a British WWI veteran in my family tree.  My grandfather did serve during WWII.  On my father’s side, they were all recent emigrants to the USA, as WWI commenced, and so they didn’t serve.

Do you have a WWI Veteran in your family?  What neat records have you found documenting their service?

Mocavo and Findmypast are coming together


I am a customer of both Findmypast and Mocavo and from the latter I received this email last week ... I have bolded and underlined a statement regarding FREE Mocavo content remaining as such.

+++

We wanted to let you know that in the coming months Mocavo will be coming together with its sister site, Findmypast. This will create a single experience for our US customers in a move that aims to deliver a more focused, efficient and comprehensive service to US family historians.

Mocavo's Story
We launched back in March 2011 when, only three months old, Family Tree Magazine named us as one of the best 101 genealogy websites of 2011. In 2012 we released The Free Yearbook collection and since then we’ve continued to publish hundreds of records and archives every day. We’d like to thank you, our customers, for being there with us as we’ve continued to grow.

We are now in the process of moving all Mocavo site content to Findmypast so you’ll soon be able to enjoy everything currently available on Mocavo and more. As part of our 'Free Forever' promise, Mocavo subscribers will continue to enjoy free access to all of the same records that were previously published for free on Mocavo. We will be transferring your account over to Findmypast soon so stay tuned for updates.

What's next?
You don't need to do anything just now. When we bring the two sites together, we'll be in touch with specific information about your account and some how-to guides that will help make the most of the new experience.

How does this move affect you?
  • You'll still benefit from the same great content you’ve been enjoying on Mocavo and this will all be available on Findmypast soon. In addition, you'll be able to take advantage of hundreds of millions of new and exclusive US records to further enhance the experience for US family historians.
  • Findmypast has more British and Irish records than anyone else and is adding new records from the US and other locales every single week, so you’ll be able to take advantage of these to help your family history search. You’ll be able to explore nearly 8 billion names now and hundreds of millions of new names coming this year alone!
  • You can easily import your family tree and we’ll start to hint against names that we find in the archives to help you discover more about your family and even find relatives you never knew existed.

About Findmypast
Currently the home to billions of names, including the largest collections of Irish records and British Parish records, military records and the British Newspaper Archive, not to mention the 1939 Register. It currently has a plethora of US records and will soon be home to all the Mocavo records once the two sites come together.

Findmypast has a free and easy-to-use family tree builder and it releases new records every week to keep your family history search alive.

Special Holiday Offer from NGS and Findmypast.com


What do you buy for the genealogist who has everything? Our friends at Findmypast have a great suggestion.

By special arrangement, NGS is offering its members and friends an exclusive discount on researching the newly released 1939 Register, the most significant British family history data release of the decade. Taken shortly after Britain declared war on Germany in September 1939, the 1939 Register is a comprehensive overview of the civil population of England and Wales at the outbreak of World War II, containing the names, occupations, marital status, dates of birth and more for 41 million individuals.

As in the US, the UK government takes a census every decade. The Second World War destroyed the UK 1931 census and the 1942 census was never taken. This means that the 1939 Register is the only surviving record of 41 million people in England and Wales from 1921-1951.

Now, thanks to a partnership between Findmypast and The National Archives in Britain, the 1939 Register has been conserved, scanned, digitized and made available online to the public for the first time. Find out more about the project here.

There is link to a 10% discount for 300 Findmypast credits that will allow you to view the 1939 Register by going to the NGS website. Once purchased, the credits are valid for 90 days, so you or your lucky genealogist friends do not need to rush to research during the holidays.

This offer is available for a limited time, ending on 12/25/2015. Act now to get discounted access to this incredibly significant UK census replacement.


Best wishes for the holidays and may 2016 be the best year ever for your genealogical research!

NGS Board and staff

FREE Index ($ to access found records) -- FindMyPast Releases 1939 Register



Findmypast has just made available the so-called 1939 Register. You can search the index for FREE though it does cost (separate from any other Findmypast subscription or pay option) to access the actual data and related information.

This is an important record because the 1931 census of England and Wales was destroyed by fire in 1942, there was no 1941 census taken and the 1951 census survives though won’t be available until 2052 due to the 100-year closure rule established after the 1911 census.


This is personally interesting for me as this is the first time my mother would show up with her parents as she was born in 1937.  I did search on my grandfather, when I couldn’t find my mother, and found the household.  Interestingly, the household is shown with the head of household (my grandfather -- John R Fountain), 1 other (should be my grandmother) and 1 locked individual (should be my mother).  This is because the listed individuals have to have surpassed the one hundred year and one day mark in order for the information to be made public.  Since exact birth dates are part of the collected information, as individuals achieve this milestone, their information will become available.

In my case, since my mother is deceased, there is “supposed” to be a mechanism available where if I provide proof that she is deceased, access can then be granted.  As soon as I know more about this option, I’ll add that info to this post. Once I unlock my mom, I’ll then go looking for my then still-living great grandparents and other family members. 

Want to learn more about these records and their digitization?  Check out these resources:
+ BBC Magazine article, Plugging genealogy's 30-year gap
+ Introducing the 1939 Register, video from Findmypast on the digitization process
+ Introductory video on using the database from Findmypast
+ Facebook Page for 1939 Register (a convenient platform to use to get questions answered)
+ General information about “The 1939 National Identify Card” via 1911Census.org.uk
