Find My Past #- To celebrate 30 years
of the Federation, this new website meets the challenges
of the Internet. There are 22 million records which can be
searched by name. Initial searches are free but transcripts of
the full record cost a small fee. The cost of searching is very
low [some as low as 6-7p] for a 5 pound sterling minimum outlay [lasts
six months]. There are county databases for marriages, census's,
headstones and strays [those born in a different county to the one
they were recorded in for the census]. Some counties are not yet involved
but the site is growing. This is not a commercial organisation therefore
it is good value, all monies are used for the benefit of Family History
Societies

you could spend hours on this site there is so much to look
at. It is a cooperative venture between 350 archives
in the British Isles. You may find papers which relate
to your family. You can search the whole country or be more
specific with a region and time span. Wills, marriage settlements
and manorial deeds are not uncommon.
