Birth, Marriage and Death Records are now FREE

Dear publishers,

Ancestry.co.uk, the UK’s largest family history site has added the complete collection of General Register Office (GRO) birth, marriage and death records online.

While other sites charge up to £50 for these records, for the first time ever, these indexes are absolutely free online with Ancestry.co.uk.

Internet users will be able to access over 250 million names from 1837 and start researching their family history. Together with free access to the 1901 census on Ancestry.co.uk during the series of Who Do You Think You Are?, starting the journey of your family history has never been simpler.

Ancestry.co.uk is the only UK website that has the complete collection of six censuses from 1851 to 1901 and birth, marriage and death records from 1837.

Banners and text links have been added to the Commission Junction interface so please take a look.

Many thanks

Paul.

Ancestry, BBC2 and Who Do You Think You Are?

Dear publishers,

With the New Year upon us comes the eagerly awaited BBC2 TV series Who Do You Think You Are? (early January 2006) which is already generating a lot of interest in online genealogy.

Stephen Fry, Julian Clary, Jeremy Paxman, Gurinder Chadha, Sheila Hancock and Jane Horrocks discover their roots in this new "rollercoaster ride of discovery".

Jeremy Paxman's story takes place in England, Scotland and Canada. Sheila Hancock's roots take her to Italy where she learns about her grandfather's interesting trade. Julian Clary discovers his engineer grandfather went through difficult times in the Royal Flying Corps during the war.

It's a great time to push the Ancestry.co.uk affiliate programme, which is featured in many of the series episodes as the choice of online genealogy websites so make sure you have your Ancestry.co.uk banners up and running.

Many thanks

Paul Lewis
