We've had a very successful start to the year with awards from both Family Tree Magazine and Your Family Tree. Thanks to everyone that voted for us.

We're introducing our cheapest ever starter package which allows you credit free access to Birth Marriage & Death Records, Census and Rolls of Honour at only £29.95, which you can purchase here.

Our Parish Records have been growing rapidly and we now have over thirty counties online with both book and database records. We have over six million already transcribed plus millions more in our non-conformist records. The PCC wills are also growing with over 630,000 wills now viewable.

With spring in the air now is the time to visit family history fairs and search for those elusive ancestors. The main event coming in June is the Yorkshire Family History fair which is sponsored by TheGenealogist.co.uk and will include a number of talks to help you with your research.

Our article this month focuses on the British love of chocolate and the resources that can shed light on your ancestors.

Cadbury's: A Family Story

"The history of the company dates back nearly 200 years ago with John Cadbury and his brother Benjamin. John and Benjamin’s father, Richard Tapper Cadbury, was born in 1768 to a wealthy Quaker family in Devon and later moved to the Birmingham area. He helped to support the business financially during its early stages.

John Cadbury was born in Birmingham on 12 August 1801. As a Quaker, John’s career opportunities were limited, as he was not permitted to attend University or join the military. So he instead turned his attention to business and became a tea dealer’s apprentice in Leeds in 1818. In 1824 he came back to Birmingham and opened up a small grocer’s shop at 93 Bull Street, selling various items including cocoa and drinking chocolate. Quakers were opposed to alcohol and the problems it brought to society, so often promoted tea, coffee and drinking chocolate as a healthier alternative. In 1831 he became more involved in manufacturing and decided to rent a small factory on Crooked Lane, producing his own cocoa and drinking chocolate."
