Genealogy Goes Digital
Posted on 22/04/2008
P. Klein
Digging into one’s ancestral past can be both interesting and rewarding. You never know what you will unearth. Maybe you will find connections to aristocracy, famous historical figures or rich merchants. Or that on the murkier side your great grandfather was illegitimate, and you are descended from convicts whose crimes could have ranged from being a petty thief to a murderer.
Leicestershire Library Services now offers all library members a chance to search the popular amateur genealogy website - Ancestry Library Edition for FREE.
Mukesh Nagar, Information Development Librarian said, “Leicestershire Library Services is delighted to offer this free access. There is a tremendous interest in family and local history in Leicestershire. A resource like this compliments both the local studies and archive collections held within our libraries and archives.
It includes two of the main sources people use when researching their family tree: records of civil registrations of birth, marriage and death; and the census returns for England, Scotland and Wales.”
To access this service, visit your local library or for more information visit our website at: www.leics.gov.uk/reference ; email at libraries@leics.gov.uk
