Since I last looked at it on 12 November, over 149 million results have appeared. The US accounts for 138 million, and the UK and Ireland account for over 10 million. There are no Canadian additions.
The new UK total is 16,269,013, with England accounting for the lion’s share, 14,825,950. The remainder is Ireland (1,462), Isle of Man (1), Scotland (784,380), United Kingdom (207,772), and Wales (449,450).
The top ten counties are:
Lancashire 2,895,305
Middlesex 2,140,301, an additional 113,740 for London.
Norfolk 1,251,491
Cheshire 1,121,434
Sussex 775,127
Yorkshire 682,698
Durham 652,674
Cornwall 584,521
Devon 533,019
Essex 416,635
If you haven’t tried this experimental search I strongly recommend doing so. You do need a free FamilySearch account,
So exciting – I’ve already found a will I didn’t know existed which helped me confirm some hints at Ancestry.
