With the new year comes the opportunity to access records coming out of embargo.
TheGenealogist just added 185,396 newly opened records to their 1939 Register for England and Wales collection. Most are for people born in 1924 and 1925. Would you like to try it for free? Until 31 January, TheGenealogist is offering a 30-day free trial at https://www.thegenealogist.co.uk/MGB39126/.
I couldn’t locate the Register at FamilySearch. Ancestry has 45,915,091 records, Findmypast has 36,526,334, and MyHeritage has 35,145,138 records. TheGenealogist doesn’t specify. Why the differences? Could Ancestry be including alternate spellings or married names?
I still keep thinking there must be a catch to the 30 day free trial…other than the obvious, hoping people forget to cancel in time.
That said, I may just take the plunge as I’ll have a four day weekend over Family Day.
