More family history links

I thought that I would add a new page to the ever-growing list of genealogical resource pages on the internet. This is not meant in any way to be a complete reference list, and is largely based on my own research over the years. Therefore it has a fairly defined geographical content. ie mostly the UK and predominantly Scotland.

I maintain a del.icio.us genealogy tag. If you want to check it out on a regular basis you can do so here.

United Kingdom

• FreeCEN – UK Census Online Project
  Check the Database coverage link at the bottom of the home page to see if what you are interested in has been transcribed and added.
• GENUKI
  This is an excellent source for beginner genealogists or those expanding their research into new geographical areas.
  • GENUKI Country and County codes
    This contains the three letter county and country codes that you often see used. e.g. SCT = Scotland

Scotland

• Scotland’s People – the Official website for the GROS
• Scotland GenWeb

Moray

• Moray Local Heritage Service
  This is a wonderful site. Specifically you want to search the computerised index – LIBINDX. There is a link in the navigation bar and in the body of this page.

England

• North East Births, Marriages & Deaths
  This is a gateway to records for the North East of England. Some of the register offices involved have online searchable databases. If you have family in this part of England, this is a good jumping off point.
  • Newcastle City Council – Births & Marriages online
  • Tees Valley Indexes – The indexes of Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stockton-on-Tees and Redcar & Cleveland.

Wales

• Abersychan and Garndiffaith Local History Group
  For those looking for information on part of the area once known as Monmouth and also as Gwent.

Ireland

• Enniskillen & County Fermanagh guide
  A general interest website for this area, but it does include a family history message board.
• The Gravestone Photo Project – County Fermanagh
  Just as the title suggests – a searchable database of photographed headstones.
• Public Record Office of Northern Ireland

New Zealand

• The National Library of New Zealand
  There is a family history section here, but it can also be useful for the digital collection as background.
  • Papers Past collection
