New Records Available To Search This Findmypast Friday


Over 1.8 million new records are available to search this Findmypast Friday including:



Containing over 35,000 records, West Virginia Births allows you to uncover details of your ancestor's birth. These records cover the mid-nineteenth century into the early twentieth century. In addition to learning your ancestor's birth date, you may also discover parents' and grandparents' names, allowing you to expand your family tree.

Each transcript will list your ancestor's birth date, the names of both their parents and the names of both their grandparents as well as a link to an image of the original document. By following the image link, you may be able to discover additional information about your ancestor's family. For example, the images often include a town name, nationality and race of parents, and occupation. Some registers will also provide the number this child is for the mother, which will help confirm whether your ancestor had siblings.



Utah Divorces consist of more than 177,000 records from Utah district courts covering the years 1997 to 2016. Each result includes a transcript that will reveal the date the divorce was filed, the petitioner, respondent, attorney, case type and the judgment that was reached.



Discover your English ancestor's monumental inscription by browsing 32 volumes of these images of a card index to Surrey's monumental inscriptions. The monumental inscriptions have been recorded from thousands of gravestones and memorials across Surrey.

The images show a card index of monumental inscriptions found across the county. The index is organised alphabetically by surname. The collection begins with directory A-Bard and finishes with directory Wo-Z. Each card may provide a name and death date. Others may have additional details such as a birth date, the names and death dates of other people buried in the same plot, parish, residence, names of other family members (i.e. parents, spouse, children), and age at the time of death.



Cavan Registers & Records currently includes only one title: Crosserlough Census Index 1821. The 1821 census of Crosserlough, County Cavan, was taken on 28 May 1821. The Four Courts fire in Dublin destroyed the original census documents but copy was made prior to this and was safely stored in the Courthouse in Cavan before being transferred to the National Archives in Dublin.

There are just under 8,000 individuals in the 1821 census. Each entry records an individual name, age, occupation and relationship to the head of household.



Kilkenny Registers & Records are presented as PDFs (Portable Document Format). The collection currently comprises the Castlecomer Census Index 1901 compiled in 2000 by Tom Delany from the 1901 census held at the National Archives of Ireland.

The publication is a summary of the population of Castlecomer in the 1901. It begins with an introduction and then lists the names, ages, and occupations of the all the inhabitants. On image number 204 is the beginning of an index of all the names found in the publication.



Wicklow registers & records is a collection of unique genealogical sources including school registers, lists of corn growers, and a 19th century petition.



10 new publications have been added to our collection of Dublin Registers & Records including school registers, district & street censuses, business directories & monumental inscriptions.

Dublin Registers & Records is comprised of over 3,500 PDF images. The collection also contains parish records (baptisms, marriages, and burials) from the Church of Ireland and the majority of records will reveal your ancestor's name, address and the names of their parents.

WV birth records do not give any grandparents' names unless one is the informant for the record and is identified as a grandparent. Otherwise, purported grandparents may be lifted from trees and may be speculative and/or wrong. This data does not belong in what is supposed to be a birth **record** and will result in more wonky trees. Arrrgh.
