MyHeritage Has Free U.S. and Canada Historical Records For July 4th

 I reeceived this information from Daniel Horowitz of MyHeritage today:

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

It's a big week for family history in North America! To celebrate Canada Day on July 1 and America's 250th anniversary on July 4, MyHeritage is offering free access to over a billion historical records from July 1–5, 2026.                                      Search U.S. City Directories                                       Search Canadian censuses To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we're offering free access to our U.S. City Directories collection, featuring 1.3 billion historical records from approximately 26,000 directories published between 1860 and 1960. Consolidated records make it easy to follow individuals across multiple directories, and they're especially valuable for filling gaps left by missing census records, including much of the lost 1890 U.S. Census. For Canada Day, we're making all 15 Canadian census collections, comprising 52.3 million historical records, free to search. These invaluable records reveal where your ancestors lived, who they lived with, their occupations, birthplaces, and many other details that help trace families across generations. We're also continuing to celebrate America's 250th with our America 250 hub, featuring fascinating resources and American family history stories that bring the nation's history to life through the experiences of ordinary families. New stories are being added all the time, so it's well worth checking back regularly and sharing the hub with your followers if you haven't already. Enjoy and Happy 4th of July!                             ================================  See previous Genea-Musings posts about MyHeritage record collections and features in https://www.geneamusings.com/search/label/MyHeritage.com.                           ========================================= Disclosure: I receive a complimentary PremiumPlus subscription to MyHeritage, and have received other material consideration in past years.
