1. I nearly missed it. To celebrate (US) Immigrant Heritage Month and the upcoming 250th anniversary of American independence, MyHeritage is offering free access to U.S. immigration records to June 5, 2026.
The free access includes 56 immigration collections with 206.1 million records covering passenger lists, arrivals, and naturalization documents from major gateways like Ellis Island and Castle Garden. In these records, researchers can discover the ship their ancestors travelled on, including those of Canadians travelling via the US, or records documenting their path to citizenship.
2. Until June 7, 2026, MyHeritage is offering free access to both Swedish and Danish historical records in celebration of Swedish National Day and Danish Constitution Day. The free access includes 261.9 million Swedish records across 53 collections and 127.4 million Danish records across 32 collections. These collections feature household examination books, church records, censuses, passenger lists, newspapers, and vital records that can help your followers trace ancestors across generations and uncover stories from Nordic communities and family life.
