Nurture your family tree with thousands of new global records

If your ancestors have a history of global migration, it could be more difficult than you'd like to pin them down. But don't give up - this week, we've released births, baptisms and honour rolls, all from the US and Canada. Read on for everything that's new.

Historical Society Of Pennsylvania, Births & Baptisms

We've added over 20,000 new births and baptisms to this collection, all from Indiana County.

These records span all the way from 1660-1992, meaning you could discover both your more recent forbears and those who lived four or five generations ago. They will give you the standard biographical information you'd expect for a birth or baptism record - name, birth year, parents' names, and so forth. Make sure to check the original image with this collection, though. Some records will have details such as the names of godparents, who were often close friends or family, and some even have longer biographies of certain people.

Canada, McGill University Honour Roll, 1914-1918

This brand-new collection commemorates the graduates of McGill University in Quebec, Canada, who gallantly served in the First World War.

It was common practice for universities and colleges across Britain, Canada and the United States to document and commemorate students who served in military engagements through an honour roll.

These records will give a rich summary of your ancestor's military experience, how long they served in the military for, any honours they received, and often details of their rank or rating. You may also find information on their academic experience, including the years they were at university for, and the subjects they studied.

If the soldier was killed during a military engagement, you are more likely to find a photograph of them, and a longer biography. This could give you a further glimpse into the lives of these soldiers and help you connect more poignantly to your military heritage.

From Brent to British Guiana

We've added over half a million newspaper pages this week from all across the globe. The Official Gazette of British Guiana, one of our new titles this week, offers a vivid snapshot of life in a colonial world. It is name-heavy, often dropping the names of British civil servants or those involved in mining operations.

Amid reports of Indian emigrants being sent to plantations, the selling of natural resources, and militia notices, it is a truly arresting glance into the White successes - and the atrocities that entailed for indigenous populations and non-White immigrants - throughout the colonial era.

If you're searching for news more locally, however, fret not: we have nine other new titles, and 75 updated titles. Just give the list below a glance over, head to our newspaper archive, and filter by title.
