Denbighshire Parish Records and FindMyPast !!
« on: Friday 12 February 21 11:52 GMT (UK) »
I've just had an e-mail from FindMyPast telling me that they have a new collection:

Denbighshire Parish Records.

They have had this record set for over 6 years as far as I can remember. I've been using them every week since they were introduced to look for my ancestors and their kin.  I did some checks via their link and there were red ticks on all my previous searches  ::)

Can anyone explain why FindMyPast are introducing them as 'new'. It's the same set as far as I can see!

Second thoughts- they might have added some new records but I'm not sure that this counts as a new collection!    It's not at all clear what they've done.

Here is the list of records that they now cover:

I hoped in to see if I could find my 2X great grandfather and the note that I had already seen this record popped up, so I agree gadget.  They still don’t tell me which Owen Williams he is though.  :D

Ah, thanks - they were missing for a while. I think there was a problem about permissions. I needed to find some of my Scots ex-pats.

Not really a NEW Collection though, is it  :-X

Always good to find something! I always leap on any new additions where I have interests, haven't found anything new for ages. One of these days, fingers crossed...
