New Online Master Name Search - www.TheGenealogist.co.uk
Try our system and search for elusive ancestors.
One of the main requests with our online service was to make it easier to search for a name.
We have been working hard to implement a simple name search that just returns how many of that name are in each database. It then lets you click on the databases where it found the names and if you have an all-inclusive subscription it will show you the entries.
Currently it covers our main census transcript databases but we will be adding other resources to the master index in due course. So if you don’t find the person you want in the master search, remember to try searching the census indexes and our other databases.
It certainly makes the offer below even more attractive.
Special Email News Offer – Free subscription
Get 30 days’ free access with 10 credits to our all-inclusive subscription with access to BMDs, Parish records, Census Transcripts, Land Records and more.

The original files have been collated to produce a master name index of more that 269,000 records.
The data has also then been sorted into records matching particular vessels so that it is possible to follow a person's career progress through the crew list records, and work out which ships they served on and when.
Includes searchable index to crew lists, crew agreements and log books, as well as details including full name, age, DoB, placeof birth, name of ship, previous ship etc. (CLIP: Crew List Index Project)
