Findmypast Weekly Update

This week’s additions include monumental inscriptions for Czechia related to the Second World War, for Germany spanning 150 years, and an aid to help dive deeper into the 1921 Census.

For Czechia, 459 records for the Prague War Cemetery were taken from the Commonwealth War Graves and Monumental Inscriptions. Each includes a transcript and the option to view the original image. Expect to find: name, date of death, age at death, military rank, military regiment, and service number.

For Germany, there are 163 monumental inscriptions for burials in Berlin, dating back to as early as 1826. Some may be military, many are not.

The 1921 Census of England & Wales Maps of Registration Divisions Browse comprises 635 items from The National Archives RG 18 series. They trace the landscapes, the parishes, fields, and roads that shaped daily life. The divisions did not necessarily respect county boundaries.

There are no newspaper additions this week as The British Newspaper Archives works on digitizing Jackie, “the go-to magazine for teenage girls for four decades,” which is due for release on Tuesday. Isn’t that exciting!
