school registers from England:
This week's Findmypast Friday marks the arrival of over 67,000 New York birth, marriage and burial records dating all the way back to 1639! We’ve also released school registers from three of Britain’s top historic schools (where many of the history’s most famous Brits were educated). Explore our new collections to reveal your family’s colonial origins or discover the achievements of any ancestors who attended British public schools.
I hope you find these records of interest. If you have any questions or feedback, do feel free to get in touch!
