Dear OGIers,
A successful past month of finding over 2000 new data sets for the Online Genealogical Index. Ancestry's Rootsweb was/is a system that allows individuals to create and host their own genealogical websites. A few years ago, due to a data breach, tens of thousands of these sites were removed. Over the past few years, many have been repaired and reposted. This month's update adds hundreds of these lost pages back online and represented in the OGI for your research. Today's update brings the current data set total to 452,189. All researched and manually added by myself!
Here are this months update details.
- BathBMD - 10 new marriage data sets
- Cornishgraves.org.uk - 5 new graveyards
- Cornwall Online Parish Clerk Database - 208 new data sets

I am confident there are thousands of more resources waiting to be catalogued and added to the OGI to help you in your research.
If a place or data set is not available, make sure you check with FreeReg.org.uk as they are constantly adding to their data. Also the many digitized films being released weekly at FamilySearch.org (https://www.familysearch.org/records/images/beta) is worth checking.
Thank you for your use of my site. It has been a labour of love and has been my first point of call when doing my own research. I hope it becomes your one-stop-shop as well.
Until the next update,
Tim Manners
