Free Access to FindMyPast new British & Irish Roots Collection

Claire Santry, in her blog, Irish Genealogy News, wrote yesterday, “FindMyPast has created a new British and Irish Roots collection which allows researchers to search a wide variety of records spanning more than 400 years of migration between the British Isles and North America, all in one place. It holds some 98 million records.

Clair does state that this is not a brand-new resource. Instead, it is a specifically packaged collection that draws from a wide range of FindMyPast’s existing records and gathers together those that list origin or place of birth in Ireland or Britain.

The good news is that Findmypast is offering free access to this British and Irish collection for an undefined period. Free access could end at any time.

Good luck with your research!
