We've updated four of our existing collections this week.
We've bolstered our record collection with some essential new additions this week. If your family has maritime connections, you may find a familiar name within new Second World War Royal Navy casualty logs and submarine movement cards. We also added 3,000 new Berkshire parish records.
British Royal Navy Casualty Logs
We've added 16,503 Second World War records to this set, further expanding our Royal Navy record collection.
British Royal Navy, Submarine Movement Cards
But the naval updates don't end there - we've also added 1,436 submarine movement card records from the year 1916.
Berkshire Baptisms Index
We've added baptism records for the ceremonial county of Berkshire - if your ancestor was baptised in Berkshire in 1916, their name may appear within these new additions.
