Free UK Genealogy provides free, online access to family history records. We
work with a team of dedicated volunteers to create high-quality transcriptions
of public records from governmental sources, parish churches, and other trusted
institutions. We believe that Open Data and Open Source are key to making and
keeping public records accessible to all.  We work with others with the same
concerns.

We make the databases we create freely available for people to search in order
to support their family history research. Unlike many sites, which are
‘pay-to-view’ after an initial search is carried out, our family
history databases are completely free to search and view.

Our records are currently divided into three separate projects:


FreeBMD provides free access to birth, marriage and death records. This resource
is ideal for those beginning research into their ancestry. The central recording
of births, marriages and deaths was started in 1837 and is one of the most
significant resources for genealogical research. The transcribing of records is
carried out by teams of dedicated volunteers and the database contains index
information for the period 1837-1992.


FreeCEN offers a free, online database of the 19th century UK census returns.
Census data can provide the full name, exact age, relationship to head of
household, sex, occupation, parish and county of birth, medical disabilities and
employment status of an individual. Later census years have more information.
FreeCEN are currently working on the 1841, 1851, 1861, 1871, and 1891 censuses.
Some counties have now started transcribing the 1881 census



FreeREG houses registers of baptisms, marriages and burials of the Church of
England and other organisations. The recording of non-civic registers began in
England and Wales in 1538; this is separate and distinct from the civil
registration process that began in 1837.



FREE UK GENEALOGY IS A CIO (CHARITABLE INCORPORATED ORGANISATION). WE SUPPORT
THE DEVELOPMENT OF OPEN SOURCE TOOLS TO AID COMMUNITY TRANSCRIPTION OF
HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS. WE ALSO ENCOURAGE ALL ACTIVITIES DESIGNED TO PROMOTE
MAKING FAMILY AND WIDER HISTORY RECORDS AVAILABLE UNDER OPEN DATA FORMATS.
