Enjoy a long research weekend with free access to FindMyPast

FindMyPast is opening up its entire database (bar just one collection... see below) this weekend. This means you have free access to billions of records across the range - census, BMDs, military, institutions, newspapers, probate, crime, Poor Law, transportation and emigration, directories and much, much more.

Free Access has ended

The only collection that will not be part of the free access is the 1921 Census of England and Wales. Other than that, whether your focus is the USA, Canada, Ireland, the UK, or Australia and New Zealand, you can dive in and search and view records.

What's not to like?

Choose your preferred FindMyPast website from the options below. The same collections will be available, free, in all of them, so it doesn't much matter which one you choose.



FindMyPast Ireland


FindMyPast USA/Canada


FindMyPast UK


FindMyPast Australia/NZ

Free access to Findmypast runs to 10am GMT on Monday 14 November. After the free access ends, you can only view records with a valid subscription.
