8 Billion Records and Counting!

Since 2007, when Findmypast was acquired by DC Thompson, the site has grown to be a dominant player in the online genealogy data field.

Currently listing over 8 billion records, that figure changes every week as new records added. The Findmypast website contains a wide variety of records such as censuses, directories, church records, military records, schools and newspapers available from countries across the English-speaking world, and of course perfect for researchers and family historians.

Founded in the UK, the company does have a heavy focus on England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales records … but certainly other countries including Australia, New Zealand, the US and Canada are covered as well. Be sure to check their Card Catalogue to see just what records they have.

A subscription based site, Findmypast offers users different country subscriptions, different level subscriptions (be sure to compare what they offer) and both 1 month and 12 month subscription options, so you can subscribe to your country of choice, and for a long or short as you choose.
