New Military Records
Was your ancestor a war hero?
View thousands of brand new military records, including Chelsea Pensioner records, Military Nurses, Prisoners of war and much more.
We are extremely excited here in the office today as we have just added Scottish records to the site. We have the Scottish census collection from 1841 right the way through to 1901. So, for those of you with Scottish ancestry you can now start filling in the gaps.
Gift Subscriptions Now Available
We are pleased to announce that you can now purchase gift subscriptions for all of your family history friends.
Christmas has arrived at Genes
With only 11 days left until Christmas, we thought it was about time we added some festivity to the logo. When deciding what Christmassy additions to make this year, we started thinking about what else we have done in the past. There has been Santa hats, falling snow, snowflakes, snowmen and holly. This year we've gone with baubles. Post your suggestions below for next years festive theme!
Pedigree view now in the tree
Today we have added the Pedigree view to the tree. This means you can see the root person plus their parents, grandparents and great-grandparents all on one page. You can see the pedigree view for any person in your tree. Click on a person in your tree and then select Pedigree from the list of views at the top.
