We’re delighted to announce that this weekend we are opening up our archives and giving unlimited free access to our billions of records and newspaper pages from all over the world. That means that between midday on Friday, March 6th and midday on Monday, March 9th (GMT), absolutely everyone will have access to our comprehensive collections of historical records and innovative research tools, including:
· Birth, marriage and death records dating back to the 18th century, and the largest online collection of UK
· The largest collection of Irish family history records available online
· Historical newspapers from across the world, including more than 10 million British newspaper pages from as long ago as 1710
· An easy to use online family tree builder which allows you to import and export your tree if you’ve built it elsewhere
· Our automatic Hints feature, which automatically searches our records for you and suggests potential matches to the people you add to your family tree
As well as millions of other records that will give everyone the opportunity to explore their family history and bring their past to life.
So, if you end up snowbound over the next few days, this might just help you pass the time!
