A subscription to TheGenealogist allows you access to unique records and tools to tease out your elusive ancestors, and this year the site has added vast numbers of new datasets to help all family historians. The icing on the cake is that there are even more additions to come in the new year
A Diamond subscription at the site provides access to unique record collections not available elsewhere, including:
- Land and house records for 1910, showing details of the property, owner and occupier. These also pinpoint the location on historic maps.
- Land records for 1836, showing details of the owner, occupier and land use with income, again with the option to map them.
- Royal Air Force operations records. These detailed records give the names of crews and details of sorties.
TheGenealogist is also the only website that has keyword search, family forename search, address search and Map Explorer search tools to help you pinpoint your ancestors.
