Ancestry.com, Origins.net Offer Free (for a Limited Time) Genealogy Databases
Posted by Diane
In honor of St. Patrick's Day, two genealogy websites are offering
free records for a limited time. Note that you'll need to set up a
free account with each site in order to view your search results:
-
UK and Irish genealogy website Origins.net is offering access to its
collection
of Irish directories from March 16 until March 18 at midnight
GMT (that's about 8 p.m. ET in the United States). Recently added is
Thom's Irish Almanac and Official Directory for 1845 to 1900. You
could learn the person's exact occupation, as well as address and
parish of residence. Note that the most "disadvantaged"
classes—small tenant farmers, landless labourers and servants—are
usually absent from these directories. Learn
more about Origins.net's Irish Directories collection and start
searching here.
- Ancestry.com is opening up its US passenger
lists and border-crossing records through March 17—search here
whether your ancestors came from Ireland or elsewhere. The search
here initially netted zero results for my name search on Edward
Norris born in 1827, but after I clicked Edit Search to bring up the advanced search window, and then clicked Search again, it worked.
