WHAT'S NEW ONLINEAll of the new data has been added into the All-Inclusive subscriptions which cost as little as £4.66 a month. We are now putting the last year of census online. If you have a premium subscription you will find the images for the 1881 Census on TheGenealogist under 1881 Census Images. Why only images? Well the Church of Latter Day Saints have the 1881 census transcripts online. These can be easily searched without charge so we have included a link so you can get the piece and folio references needed by the image viewer. Family Search Website http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp To use their site select 1881 British Census at the top, then at the bottom of their page select Country England and County London. You can then enter the First and Last name of the person you’re researching and click on search. The system will return the Piece and Folio reference which can be used to view the appropriate pages. A folio references two pages so its worth browsing a page either way. The folio number is stamped on every other page at the top right hand corner. We have asked permission to integrate a free to search index on the site as this would make searching and viewing pages easier. The current system isn’t too difficult. The London 1881 will quickly be followed by all other counties giving complete coverage of all years of census on TheGenealogist. New Census Transcripts Completed London 1881 Images |

FHS Online - New Service for SocietiesTo compliment the range of services we operate for societies we are now offering a new online data service. FHS Online will allow you to get your society data online without you having the burden of requiring highly qualified staff http://www.fhs-online.co.uk For the initial period we are offering county societies the incentive of free equipment (Laptops, Projectors and computer storage). This is open to those that also allow us to host the data on a royalty basis on Thegenealogist.co.uk Societies and individuals that own their own parish records can derive revenue from this indexing and transcription project. This is an important way to open up society data worldwide so that members can benefit from the research. With 50% royalties and free equipment there has never been a better time to get online. |

Family Legends: Shadow or Substance? by David RobertsThere is no such thing as an ‘ordinary’ family any more than there might be ‘ordinary’
people. We all have our tales to tell as individuals. So it is with families. Although in later years one can look back at them, and see a glimmer – just a glimmer mind you
– of truth. READ THE FULL ARTICLE OF OUR £100 WINNER DAVID ROBERTS If you have a story to tell you too could win £100 in S&N vouchers. Email your stories to [email protected] or submit them in the Community Area of TheGenealogist. |
