Findmypast Friday: 17th Century Pennsylvania, World War I Canada, and Newspaper Records Added

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

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


Findmypast expands their global offering this week

Records for 17th century Pennsylvania and First World War Canada added this Findmypast Friday

Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Births & Baptisms

Over 20,000 new records for Indiana County have been added to this existing collection. Spanning from 1660-1992, you may uncover both recent relatives and distant ancestors. You can normally expect a year and parents’ names, but check the originals where available for more rich detail.

Canada, McGill University Honour Roll, 1914-1918

This new collection includes graduates of McGill University in Quebec who served in the First World War. You may find photographs and details of their military service, plus insights into their university career. If a soldier was killed, you’re likely to discover a fuller biography.
