I don't know if this has been put on befor but I just had an email from Family Relatives and they say that the British Overseas Records are now free on their site. LEADING THE way in internet family history research, website www*familyrelatives*org announces the first of several new and important records to be put online - part of a program to add more than 100 million new records. All British Overseas Births, Deaths and Marriages, from 1761 to the present day—are now available entirely free of charge for the very first time on the web. Hope it helps some of you.

I think you have to have registered with them first though..... I'm not quite sure if that also means paying them the minimum sub in order to access the overseas free stuff?? I don't know, because I subscribe to them anyway and have been using the overseas stuff a lot. Lucky you to be notified! They have had this info on there for a few weeks, but no one has told me yet (officially)! Merry

This is what happens for me!: sign in to Family relatives Next screen - scroll down to Search Overseas Records Passengers who arrived at the port of New York during the Irish famine 1846-1851 GRO Births Abroad Indices 1966-1978 <<<<<<<<<< Click GRO Marriages Abroad 1966-1994 <<<<<<<<<<<<< One of GRO Deaths Abroad Indices 1966-1994 <<<<<<<<< These!! And much more Click one of the ''<<<<<<'' above. On the next screen you will see a series of folders. Open the one you want and you will find various subfolders. It's easy from there! Merry
