There are quite a few links to helpful articles and videos in The Family History Guide, covering a wide variety of topics. What should not be overlooked is that there are also links to many free databases for records of all types. To highlight these resources, we’ve created a new page: the Database Reference.<\/p>\n

About the Database Reference<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can access the Database Reference<\/a> from any of the Partner menus (FamilySearch, Ancestry, MyHeritage, or Findmypast), below Project 4. This is a work in progress: many more entries will be added in the future.<\/p>\n

Below is a sample screenshot of part of the Database Reference page. The link to the database is listed first, followed by “More,” which opens a description of the database. In this example, only the Austria GenWeb “More” link is open to show the database description; on the actual page you can click any link to open the database or its description.<\/p>\n

The “Global”\u00a0 category is for databases that span multiple regions. After that, the categories are listed alphabetically, with a mix of regions and individual countries, depending on the scope of records in the databases.<\/p>\n

We hope you enjoy learning about databases linked from The Family History Guide, in the new Database Reference page!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
