Hello all,
A Pilot Site...Try it ...I have found so much information that I hadn't seen
before! It is free! A group that I belong to posted it and I tried it. I
know many of the Chilver researchers aren't from the US, so this should be
very helpful.
It includes the 1850 and 1900 US censuses, mortality schedules, marriages,
births etc...in the US, England and Germany and other places, but that is
what I looked at first. Vital Records from the Czech Republic, England,
France, Germany, Spain, Michigan Births, Deaths, Marriages, Norway Baptisms,
English Marriages and Baptisms, Civil War Pension Cards, Ellis Island
Passenger arrival lists are only a few! Marriage records had the parents
names listed of both the bride and groom. Some states aren't on line yet,
but will be.
A listing of all the available vital records is on the first page. Easy to
use..and there are also original documents you can view and print. I put in
a surname and it came up with 40 pages...so then I used a first name and
surname and everything with both names appeared. Copy the transcription
to a clipboard and then paste it into Word, Notepad or whatever or you can
copy and print the document. Lots of information regarding parents of those
marrying is there, misspelled often, but still available.

After using, be sure to send them a note saying thanks for all the hard work
that the volunteers have done and how useful the site is...so it will
continue offering all of the free information! New information is posted
daily. They tell you what percentage of the collections are completed.
There were lots of Chilver and Chilvers listed.
Have a great day,
Karen
