First Update of 2023!

Dear OGIers,

A Happy New Year to you all.  I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas season.  We enjoyed time with extended family for my mother's 90th birthday.

Meanwhile, I have been sneaking some research time to find new resources available to add to the Online Genealogical Index.

This latest upload of 316 data sets brings the grand total to 449,583.

  • BillionGraves - 103 new cemeteries
  • Cornwall Online Parish Clerk Database - 71 new data sets
  • Findmypast Middlesex Monumental Inscriptions - 5 new cemeteries
  • Findmypast National School Records - 10 new schools
  • GravestonePhotos - 1 new cemetery
  • Kingston BMD - 1 new Birth data set
  • LAN OPC - 18 new data sets
  • OPC Dorset - 1 new record set
  • Staffordshire BMD - 17 new data sets
  • TINSTAAFL Marriage Project - 18 new parishes
  • TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 3 new parishes
  • Yorkshire BMD - 68 Marriage data sets
The big sites are not releasing new collections as often as they used to but the privately owned sites are still busy collecting data.  FreeReg is always adding new information but since they updated their site a few years ago, new additions are, unfortunately, very vague and harder to track.  I still highly recommend using their site if you cannot find anything elsewhere.

I look forward to a busy year of finding new resources for this site and adding them regularly for your research success.

Until the next update,

Tim Manners
