Marking Remembrance weekend, FindMyPast is opening up its databases to free access. *The only exclusions are the 1921 Census of England & Wales and the Tree Search collections; only subscribers will be able to access these.
The free access is now live and will run until 10am GMT on Monday 13 November. Researchers will be able to explore the military and war-time experiences of their ancestors, as well as records about their peace time lives, through a wide range of record collections including census, birth, marriage and death, migration, church, school and occupational records.
FindMyPast's Newspaper Collection, with its nearly 72million pages of digitised newsprint sourced from the British Library, is included in this free access period.
You'll need to register with FindMyPast to gain free access. It's a quick and easy process, and no financial details are required.
