Please find below a three-week summary of newly-released and updated family history collections for England, Scotland and Wales from the major genealogy databases. (Previous list 1 May blogpost.)
These regular listings are designed to help researchers whose Irish ancestors migrated, temporarily or permanently, to England, Scotland or Wales.
By default, they will also be useful to anyone carrying out research in those three nations, regardless of the origin of their ancestors.
Please note that I don't usually include updates of fewer than 1,000 records.
