Online family history website, Findmypast, has just launched a handy little widget which enable you to quickly search its impressive database of 9 billion records. Included amongst these, I see, are nearly
31 million indexed military records;
indexed mind you, there will be plenty of other records that have not been indexed, not to mention
British newspapers as well.
If you haven't already used Findmypast, now could be the time to do so. Just enter the basic details in the box on the right. I searched for my grandfather, Walter Leonard Nixon, who was born in 1893 and I got 530 results! Better still, my grandfather appeared in six results on the first page of results.
Go on, give it a try. Searching is FREE!
