Findmypast Friday: Delve Deeper Into Your Family's Story

 I received this information from Findmypast today:

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


Delve deeper into your family's story

Outlining British parishes before 1832, we've added the Phillimore Atlas to our collection this week, as well as memorial inscriptions from Scotland and Yorkshire and burial records from the English county of Kent. With over 200,000 pages added, our newspaper archive has also reached an impressive milestone.

New this week:

Britain, Phillimore Atlas and Index of Parish Registers

Where exactly did your ancestor live their everyday life, walking the lanes, working the fields they ploughed, or building the towns that shaped their world? The Phillimore Atlas and Index allows you to trace those places across England, Wales, and Scotland. Its detailed parish maps reveal boundaries, settlements, streams, railways, and more, helping you pinpoint the precise parish your ancestor belonged to. Use Findmypast’s deep‑zoom viewer to explore every feature, search by map name or individual parish, and open Extra Materials to view all maps that include your parish, plus the index page where it appears. Delve deeper into your ancestry with one essential reference that uncovers limitless discoveries.

Scotland Monumental Inscriptions

Was your ancestor buried in Scotland, or had close relatives in the country? Discover final resting places, together with many details about lives lived in this collection of Scottish cemetery gravestone inscriptions, the largest of its kind online.

Yorkshire Monumental Inscriptions

Kent Burials

Do you have ancestors from Kent? Discover if they were buried there in records spanning over 400 years. These records may reveal where and when they were buried, as well as their spouses’ and fathers’ names. These records constitute a valuable resource for researching ancestry in Kent and have been provided in association with Canterbury Cathedral Archives, The National Archives, Kent County Council, Medway Archives, Kent Family History Society, the North West Kent Family History Society, Val Brown and the College of Arms, the official heraldic authority for England, Wales, Northern Ireland and much of the Commonwealth including Australia and New Zealand. The records will provide you with details found in the original parish register.
