Genealogy News - 7th September


I suspect most of you will want to have a browse through the lengthy list that has popped up on Ancestry's 'New Collections' page. Only goes up to 'N' for some reason - maybe they couldn't squeeze 'em all in! Mainly browse-only stuff, but worth a look, definitely.

Ancestry also have some new Dorset records.

FindMyPast have released a few more Surrey records.
