MyHeritage offers free access to census collections until September 8th

MyHeritage (www.myheritage.com) is offering free access to all census records from September 1–8, 2021. From the company:

The Census & Voter Lists category on MyHeritage encompasses a vast repository of over 1.3 billion records, including census records from the U.S., U.K., Ireland, Scandinavia, and Canada as well as electoral rolls and other records from Australia, Venezuela, Chile, Argentina, Armenia, Greece, and much more. These records offer valuable snapshots of the lives of people living in these locations throughout history, especially from the 19th century onward.

To access the collections visit https://www.myheritage.com/research/catalog/category-1000/census-voter-lists

NB: Scottish census access provision is limited to extracts from the 1841, 1851 and 1861 censuses only, but there is acess to English and Welsh censuses (with images), as well as third party indexes to the Irish 1901 and 1911 censuses (in which you can search for two people at a time in a household, unlike the Irish National Archives platform provision).
