Our long silence since the last email news hasn't been due to
inactivity. Quite the opposite, as we have been busy working on many new data sets, CDs and
offers, as you'll find out below.
We'll start with two fantastic new offers available for email
news readers. The first is an exclusive limited release of our New six-monthly Diamond Premium Subscription, and if you buy the sub before
the 14th of April, you'll get it for only £74.45.
The
second offer we have is a new product from RootsMagic.co.uk -
The Universal Upgrade.
This new 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.
With talk of a certain wedding in the news, this month's
featured article looks back at how the Victorian media were just as enthralled by royal
weddings. The article looks at coverage of the wedding in the Illustrated
London News issues newly released on TheGenealogist.
We have now launched our first county of the 1911 Census on
TheGenealogist, with higher quality and higher resolution colour images than have been
available online before.
Since the last email news, we have also released hundreds of thousands of
parish
record transcripts, for several counties.
For the first time, we are making available pre-1841 census
records and various Scottish Census records for 1851.
Today we have just announced the release of the Australian
transportation records. These document both the trials and the ships that English,
Scottish, Welsh and some Irish convicts were transported on.
These are now all available in our Diamond Subscriptions, available until the
14th of April with a £30
discount off our Annual Diamond Subscription when using the code ENMAR11.
Gold and Diamond subscribers now have access to an additional 7.6 million
Birth Transcripts, and new Parish Records.
Family history offers in this news also include, a binder offer
to help store your valuable certificates and documents and a new handbook
to help you with your research.
New Data CDs include Royalist Composition Papers detailing the fines
paid by those who fought on the Royalist side in the English Civil War, a survey of London
in 1766, Army Lists and many new directories including
Pigot's Historical & Descriptive Account of London & Provincial Towns 1825
covering over 250 towns nationwide.
We hope you'll benefit from our many new releases.
