Findmypast Friday: Explore Cemeteries and Celebrations

  I received this information from Findmypast today:

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

Unlocking the stories hidden in your family tree just got easier, as we've added over 150,000 monumental inscription records from Nottinghamshire, as well as new Middlesex baptisms. Explore how your forebears were celebrated in life and death with these useful new additions.

Nottinghamshire Monumental Inscriptions

Explore over 150,000 new records, covering the years 1317-2022. Nottinghamshire Monumental Inscriptions record the details carved on gravestones, memorials, and plaques found in churchyards and burial grounds across the county. These inscriptions often preserve information that does not survive elsewhere, including exact death dates, family relationships, occupations, and personal epitaphs. They are an invaluable resource for tracing Nottinghamshire families, confirming burial places, and adding depth and context to family histories.

Middlesex Baptisms, Harleian Society

Do you have ancestors from Middlesex? Search over 100,000 new baptism records spanning 1539-1937. You can find out details such as birth year, baptism year, parents' names and residence.
