First update of 2022

Dear OGIers,

I hope you have had a restful new years and started off with health and vigour.  There are lots of new genealogical resources for you to discover with today's addition of 511 data sets.

Here are the details:

  • Cemetery Searcher - 3 new data sets
  • Cheshire BMD - 5 new marriage data sets
  • Cornwall OPC Database - 377 new data sets
  • Durham Records Online - 8 new data sets
  • FamilySearch.org - 10 new parish register data sets
  • GravestonePhotos.com - 7 new cemeteries
  • OPC Dorset - 3 new parish data sets
  • Staffordshire BMD - 2 new death data sets
  • Staffordshire BMD - 32 new marriage data sets
  • Surrey Parish Register scans on Google - 10 new data sets
  • TINSTAAFL Marriage Project - 41 new data sets
  • TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 6 new data sets
I am sure there will be some of your ancestors included in these, especially if you have Cornish connections.  The new total for the complete database is 435,533 data sets.  Please remember that a data set can be thousands of names or a handful of headstones.

Good to know the availability of new material continues to improve.

Aren't we all looking forward to enjoying warm days down south again soon?  Here's a photo of Porthleven, Cornwall.


Here's wishing you a happy and healthy 2022.

Until the next update,

Tim Manners
