Internet Genealogy's latest issue has an article about the three sites now available under the name Free UK Genealogy. Many of us have used Free BMD, the website for civil registration in England and Wales from 1837-1983. This is now under the same umbrella as Free REG which can be used to search baptism, marriage and burial records transcribed from parish registers for the same locations. The third option is called Free CEN, which is a search facility for census records from 1841 to 1891. Not all census records have been transcribed as yet; for example, only the 1871 census is available for Lowestoft.
To access any of the three choices, visit www.freeukgenealogy.org.uk. All of the material has been produced by volunteers and it is an ongoing project.
