Dear Family Historian,
It's an exciting time at S&N, we have come back from WDYTYA? Live! at Olympia with a lot of positive feedback from TheGenealogist users and how they love the new interface. With all the improvements now live
on the site we welcome anyone who has tried us before to try us again, we're sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
We have a very special offer on our Diamond subscriptions at TheGenealogist this month, to celebrate the completion of the 1911 Census, and have released a number of new records including a huge amount of parish records, and some court and directory records too.
Our article this month looks at one of the most widely read authors in the UK, and her real life story from tough knocks to becoming a literary success.
We are also celebrating the 20th anniversary of our family business, S&N. Learn how the business started here. To celebrate, we've added a large number of new releases, special offers, and bargain items as well as having a huge discount
on Diamond Subscriptions to TheGenealogist.

We have now completed our 1911 Census Transcripts, with over 36 million records. These records have been integrated into our new Master Search, and into our existing tools, such as our marriage finder tool.
To celebrate this release, sign up to our Diamond subscription today and get £50 off!
We are also adding unredacted images to our website. These images show the 'Infirmity' column, which were previously omitted due to a 100-year privacy policy.
The following image shows William Ansell with "Spinal cord injured 1902 through accident on drain work, slipped when getting down manole".

New Master Search at 
We have released a new Master Search at TheGenealogist.co.uk, making all our records easily accessible at the click of a button.
This comprehensive search tool allows you to use one simple form to search across all of our millions of records, including Parish Records, Wills, Newspapers, Census, Non-Conformist Registers, and much more.
The simple to use interface allows you to search for a person, family, or an address, all from within the same tool.
Graham Walter from the Society of Genealogists' Census Detectives was very impressed with how easy and comprehensive the new interface is and had a lot of very happy enquirers from their section.
It now gives you one simple tool to find information in any of the resources on the site. We’ll admit you had to be a bit of an expert to drive the old system but now the new interface makes it a doddle to search for people, families or addresses.
With all these improvements now live on the site we welcome anyone who has tried us before to try us again, we're sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
An easy to follow guide for the new interface is available here: http://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/researchguide/?cid=1&p=75#295

Who Do You Think You Are? Live!
The three-day event at Olympia was a huge success this year, with thousands of visitors through the doors. Our talks were very popular, with people surrounding our lecture theatre to hear what our speakers had to say. We may have to enlarge our theatre next year to cope with the crowds!
As well as his popular talks, Mark Bayley presented the prizes for the Federation of Family History Societies' competitions.
The two winners for Young Genealogist of the Year competition received a laptop, a 1-year Diamond subscription to TheGenealogist, and a copy of RootsMagic 5 UK Platinum Edition.
Matthew Abel, Young Genealogist of the Year |
Eleanor Parkyn, Young Genealogist of the Year |

The life of Catherine Cookson could easily have been lifted from the pages of one of her best-selling novels. Raised in the early 1900's,
she dreamed of a better life, and we take a look at the amazing story of the girl from South Shields who became the most widely read novelist in the UK, with sales reaching over 100 million.
This year marks our 20th anniversary.
Back when there was only one genealogy magazine and computers were so niche that they only got mentioned on the odd page or too, S&N started out.
