If you are hoping to discover new branches of your family tree or a heroic ancestor who fought in the military, then this collection could be the key to unlocking new details about your ancestors from the East Midlands from as early as the 14th century.

During the 19th century, areas such as Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire saw a sharp increase in population, which meant that far more burials were taking place than ever before. As well as those buried in churchyards, the population increase saw the introduction of many new cemeteries to keep up with the expansion in these areas. This collection allows you to search through hundreds of these churchyards and cemeteries.
