To mark Remembrance, Findmypast is making its website and collections completely free to the public. From Thursday 9th November to Monday 13th November, anyone will be able to uncover the wartime experiences of their ancestors, from nurses to soldiers to home front civilians.
With free access to billions of records and an interconnected tree network, it’s easier than ever to uncover your ancestors’ wartime stories.
Explore the rich stories of bravery, community and tragedy in over 70 million searchable historical newspaper pages, digitised in partnership with the British Library. You’ll find details about your ancestors that you won’t get in other records, helping you to make connections and gain a deeper understanding of their wartime experiences.
You can also delve into 1939 Register, military records, hospital and migration records, and many more, to build a detailed picture of your ancestors’ lives. Unfortunately the 1921 census is not included in this offer.
