1851 Census

If you are a subscriber to Ancestry.co or your library has this subscription, you will soon be able to access the 1851 Census that covers England, Wales, Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.

Did you know that Ancestry.co.uk (part of your subscription to Ancestry.com) allows you to just search British Isle records rather than having to wade through all the other sources?  ¶ 2:49 PM 0 comments

The 5th Annual British Institute came to a successful close on Friday 14 October 2005 in Salt Lake City. Besides class time, there was research time and the library was bustling with people doing their own research and doing class projects. Attendees agreed the institute was well done and the classes were much more than they anticipated.

Next year's dates are 2 October 2006 through 6 October 2006. Mark your calendar now to set aside this week to really learn how to do British genealogy and climb over those brick walls facing you. More information will be forth coming in the near future. Check here or go to our Web site http://www.isbgfh.org.
