My regular summary of new and updated British collections is designed to help family historians whose Irish ancestors emigrated, temporarily or permanently, to the United States. By default, it will also be useful to anyone carrying out research in the US, regardless of the origin of their ancestors. The figures in parenthesis in the New Collections section are the numbers of records/images in each new record set.
Unless otherwise stated, the figures in parenthesis in the Updated Collections section reflect the number of records added to the collection in the recent update.
