MYHERITAGE.COM ADDS MILLIONS OF NEW RECORDS

MyHeritage.com continually updates their record collections by adding new records to the eight billion records they now have online.

Broadmoor Branch of the Shreve Memorial Library has added this subscription website to the services offered to their genealogy research patrons.  The site can be accessed free at the library using their computers and can also be accessed from home remotely using your home computer.  Instructions for remotely accessing this website can be found HERE.

Esther and I have been learning to use MyHeritage for our research and believe it will be a useful new tool for our genealogy/family history toolbox.

Happy ancestor hunting.

NEW AND UPDATED RECORDS ON ANCESTRY.COM

 

LARGE AMOUNT OF RECORDS NEW AND UPDATED ON ANCESTRY

Two days ago ancestry.com listed a huge amount of new and updated records (172 US Record Collections) on their website.  This may be some of the records that resulted from the new working agreement they have with familysearch.org.  Do not know for sure but this is certainly a large number of record collection to look through on ancestry.com.  Rather than post all of the new collections on this website, I am showing details on how to access these record collections on ancestry.com:

1.  Log into ancestry.com
2  On drop-down menu under "search" click on "card catalog"
3.  In left column menu click on Filter by Location "USA"
4.  On right side of page under "Sort By" click on "date updated"

This will show all of the most recent new and updated records.  Note that there are three pages of collections.  Browse through the records and have fun doing your ancestor hunting.

A subscription to ancestry.com is required to access these records or you can visit Broadmoor Library and take advantage of their free access to ancestry.com.

Happy ancestor hunting.
