England & Wales Electoral Registers 1920-1932
In partnership with the British Library, we’ve added over 16 million names to this collection. Voting lists are compiled annually of people who are eligible to vote and include their reason for eligibility, such as their residence or ownership of a property. You're likely to find your ancestor featured more than once. This invaluable record set includes those first entitled to vote after 1918 and is an excellent substitute for the lost 1931 England & Wales Census.
Britain, Histories & Reference Guides
A General and True History of the Lives and Actions of the Most Famous Highwaymen, Murderers, Street-Robbers, etc. has been added to our collection of publications relating to British history, heraldry, culture and genealogy.
Canadian Directories & Almanacs
433 additional volumes with over 353,000 images covering Newfoundland, Ontario and Toronto have been added to help research your Canadian ancestors. This collection of directories spans over a century from 1853 to 1975. Published as searchable PDF documents, using keywords and wildcard searches can help you pinpoint the record you're looking for.
Canada, Ontario, Toronto Emigrant Office Records Index
This new index includes over 29,000 names of those who received assistance to emigrate to Ontario between 1865 and 1883.
