Findmypast is still the only family history website to bring you new releases every week. Here's a round-up of what's new this week.

Unique to Findmypast, we’ve added over 169,000 new parish baptism records to our Essex collection.

Parish records like these can transform your past, taking your family tree way back to medieval times.

Discover details of your Berkshire ancestors in new probate records dating as far back as 1480.

These records can reveal your ancestors' names, occupations, and addresses. What's more, they'll give you the archival reference of the original record if you want to order it from the Berkshire Record Office and discover even more.

This week, we’ve added over 47,000 more pages to Leicester Evening Mail, covering 1929-1943.
