Hi Listers
Saw this this morning on a BBC web page...
192 creates genealogy directory
November 28, 2005
""Due to go live this sfternoon, the site offers searchable records of the
more than 300 million registered births, marriages and deaths since 1837. It
has also added information from the 1861 Census, which includes details of
ancestors' occupations.
Pre 1983 data has been collated using scanned images of registry documents,
while post 1984 data is available electronically. Both sets of records
provide a specific code for each individual registration, which can be
submitted to the General Registry Office (GRO) to receive a copy of the
original birth, marriage or death certificate.
In addition, 192Genealogy provides numerous useful links and tips on how to
get the most out of genealogy and with high levels of illiteracy in the 19th
century as well as a fair amount of fibbing, particularly about occupations
or age, budding genealogists need to think laterally when delving into their
family's past. ""
"More than 4 million people use
192.com to trace long-lost family from the
present so it makes perfect sense that they should turn to us to help them
trace family from the past" said Keith Marsden, managing director of
192.com.
"There's no other site that provides the depth of detail that we can on both
individuals and their properties. By adding a layer of historical data
across this information, people can build a comprehensive family tree for
relatives that will allow them to discover not only their family's past but
new family from the present that they may never know they had."
