 I received this information from Findmypast today:

Explore stories of early immigration this Findmypast Friday


This new collection of 12,959 records may help you discover if your ancestor became a British citizen in the 17th century. Derived from William Shaw’s Letters of Denization and Acts of Naturalization for England and Ireland, this source can reveal names, dates of naturalisation and places of origin. Some of the original images have additional notes, and you may find many in this collection were French Huguenots.


A further 231,796 baptisms have been added to this existing collection, spanning 1539 to 1922. Baptism records are one of the key building blocks for your family tree, helping you uncover names, parents, dates and locations.


Another 10,401 transcriptions have been added to this record collection, for the county of Herefordshire between 1631 and 1812. These records, published in partnership with the Family History Federation, can help you unearth final resting places of your ancestors, plus key dates and sometimes even other family members.
