FINDMYPAST PowerPoint PDF

It is known one of the premier British research websites and is a wonderful resource for Irish research. It also has US and British colony records.

LDS users get a free version of this website that is a mix of its Premier and Starter subscriptions. Unfortunately, the Family History Library Portal has the same version as LDS users. Some records can't be accessed. One of these primary records that can't be accessed is their US newspapers collection. However, you can still see the articles that are available on the person. PERSI is also exclusively available at FINDMYPAST.
