This month TheGenealogist has released a number of Military Records for our Diamond subscribers, including British Officer Prisoners of War from 1914-1918. We have also released thousands of parish records for Worcestershire & Staffordshire, and added to our collection of PCC wills, available to all Diamond and Gold subscribers.

We also have another exclusive offer for you; If you buy the Annual Gold Subscription before 1st May, using the discount code ENAPR11 you'll get it for only £63.95, a saving of £15!

TheGenealogist already provides Parish Record transcripts, many with images, and we have just released a new interface which will allow you to search through our Parish Record Printed Books just as easily. We have millions of individuals within our Printed Books, and we hope you’ll find the new interface an invaluable tool during your research.

With Easter coming up, this month's article focuses on the history of 'Terry's Chocolate Orange', which was first created in 1931 by Joseph Terry and Sons Ltd. Did you know they used to make a chocolate apple!

RootsMagic.co.uk are still offering the popular Universal Upgrade. This upgrade allows you to upgrade from any family history software you have, be it Family Tree Maker, Family Historian or others, for a great discounted price.

Along with a large number of new releases on CD this month, we are continuing with our binder offer, which allows you to get 10 free sleeves per binder when you follow the link provided. Our binders help you store your valuable certificates and documents, and all sleeves are archival quality.

We hope you'll benefit from our new releases.

Search Parish Records more efficiently with TheGenealogist's new interface

A brand new interface has been developed on TheGenealogist.co.uk for all records in the Printed Books collection, and this has now being launched across all Parish Records. You can now search across all of the parishes in one county at once.

.

1. From the list provided, select the preferred county.

2. Enter your search terms. This can be just a surname, but you can also add a forename. The search tool will locate the words entered within the book, so you could in fact enter other keyword here such as an occupation or the maiden name of a bride.

3. Once you have submitted the search, matching results for the first parish will be displayed.  Click on one of these to open up the image viewer window.

4. The search will also be carried out across all the books in the selected county, so here you’ll find the number of pages of results listed for the other parishes.  Click on any of the links shown to switch the default parish and view the available results.

Other Printed Books on TheGenealogist include Directories, School and University Registers, Will Indexes, Landowner Records and Knights of England, which will all be updated to the new interface over the coming months.
