Now that newspapers dating back to the 1600s are online, you can search for a name and find it anywhere in millions of pages instantly. Rick will demonstrate some of the key sites for British genealogy, many of which are free.

Good work!\n\nI am unbelievably excited that I won a 1 month free membership! I was planning on joining anyway, so now I get to ""preview"". :)\n\nI love all of the webinars!\n\nI appreciated that Rick showed how to find information on a variety of sites, much better than just giving the names of British websites.\n\nI found Ricks suggestions for sites to search very helpful. Without knowledge of the Welsh language it must be difficult to know how to pronounce family names and towns. They can sure be tongue twisters. The Morgan family names is very popular in Wales. There are many of them.. I have the name Morgan on both my Mother's side and my father's sides in my tree\n\nI found the most informative was about how much can be found through Family Search ( how to explore it). The rest of the sites in the UK I was aware of, but it is always good to refresh and reinforce. A useful hour well spent. Thanks\n\nI know most of the sites mentioned but have never plumbed them in depth, especially Family Search. Thank you for directing me to such a huge variety of sources!\n\nI learned a lot of new resources that I did not know before. Looking forward to trying them out. Of course, my part of England ancestry came from the Leeds, Yorkshire, England area which was not discussed but I look forward to perhaps another webinar touching that area. Thank you.\n\nI learned about more search possibilities within each major category! Thanks\n\nI learned many things to do in Family Search. Also, websites to use for UK relatives.
