For members around the world, the site is a crucial resource for building family trees and doing detailed historical research.
In April 2003 Findmypast was the first to provide access to the complete birth, marriage, and death indexes for England & Wales, winning the Queen's Award for Innovation. Since that time, the company has digitised records from across the globe, including major collections from Britain, Ireland, Australia, and the United States. In partnership with the British Library, Findmypast produced The British Newspaper Archive; part of a project to safeguard the future of the world's greatest newspaper archive which allows digital access to more than 40 million newspaper pages. Recently, The National Archives awarded the company the exclusive rights to put the 1939 Register for England and Wales online.
