Huge additional update for March adds thousands of new resources

Dear OGIers,

I don't usually do three updates in a month but I just kept finding new information of value to us all so made sure it was added to the database before month-end.


Today's update adds thousands of new references for FreeReg, one of the best resources for Parish Registers on the internet.  Volunteers are transcribing thousands of records a week and adding new parishes regularly as well.

This update included 3,357 datasets bringing the total on the Online Genealogical Index to 456,517.

Here are the details:

  • Archive.org - Parish Registers (15 new parish registers)
  • Cambridgeshire Baptisms and Burials Index - 304 parishes
  • CornwallOPC Database - 18 new datasets
  • Findmypast - Sussex Burials (2 new cemeteries)
  • FreeReg - 2,974 new datasets
  • Hathitrust.org - 2 new School registers
  • OPC Dorset - 2 new datasets
  • TINSTAAFL - Marriage Project (8 new parishes)
  • TINSTAAFL Norfolk Baptisms - 1 new parish
  • Workhouses.org - 12 new datasets
I hope you will have success using these new resources.

Until the next update,

Tim Manners
