The records on The Genealogist are highly detailed and can give three-generation trees, original document images where available, and provide a search facility for other family members mentioned in the records.
The site also offers unique parish and nonconformist records that give details of over 22 million individuals for 38 counties and cover a wide range of events.
The Genealogist also includes BMDRegisters.co.uk - the official nonconformist website, with the largest collection of UK nonconformist records available. Some records even provide an image of the original certificate, with nonconformist birth certificates as early as 1609. | Finding your ancestors among this huge collection is easy, thanks to the search features available. The search facilities are more detailed than other sites and include the ability to search for an individual and use the results to find other family members in the records.
The keyword master search tool instantly refines your search to find the one person you're after. rather than trawling through thousands of records. Enter a name to search or click advanced search to refine your results further:
For example, entering John Smith, 1821 for the year of baptism, Sarah in the mother's name, and carpenter under father's occupation, will show the one record you're after. | Searching 'all names' also allows you to find an ancestor when they aren't the subject of a record. For example, you may find the person you're after as a parent or a witness to a wedding that you never knew existed!
The site includes births, baptisms, Bishops' Transcripts, banns, marriages, marriage licences, deaths, burials and wills, not just the standard birth, marriage and death records.
In addition, early birth certificates are all provided as part of your subscription, so there's no need to pay an extra charge to get a copy of the certificate once you've found the transcribed information you're after. Among The Genealogist's collection you can find the birth records of William Shakespeare's children and Florence Nightingale's birth certificate.
