Findmypast Friday: New USA Records for July 4th

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

                  ===========================================


Celebrate 4 July with new US records this Findmypast Friday  

Findmypast adds records from this key period in American history  

Descendants of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence 


Each signer of this historic document is included in this collection, new to Findmypast this week. Following a traditional genealogical style, you might uncover a personal family connection to a signer of the Declaration of Independence by following their descendants. These 18,000 records have been kindly supplied by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. 


Pennsylvania, Oaths of Allegiance Lists 

 Also new to Findmypast this week, with these 13,000 records you might discover if an ancestor renounced their allegiance to the British monarchy, and instead pledged

support to the Continental Congress. Here, you may learn where and when your ancestor made this pledge. 

 This new collection comprises 10,000 PDF records to help you discover if your ancestor was directly involved in the fighting during the American Revolution. The records normally include the name of the soldier, their rank and their type of involvement. 

 

Nearly 13,000 records have been added into this existing collection, with the new material covering Angus and Fife. Explore years of death, others buried in the same plot, denominations and more.
