The following is a press release from TheGenealogist
TheGenealogist
has just released over 2.7 million BT27
records for the 1930s. These Outbound Passenger Lists are part of an
expanding immigration and emigration record set on TheGenealogist that feature
the historical records of passengers who sailed out of United Kingdom ports in
the years between 1930 and 1939. With the release of this decade of records,
the already strong Immigration, Emigration,
Naturalisation and passenger list resources on TheGenealogist have been
expanded again.
The fully searchable BT27 records from The National Archives
released today will allow researchers to:
● Discover potential family members travelling
together using TheGenealogist’s SmartSearch.
This unique system is able to
recognise family members together on the same voyage. In this situation it will
display a family icon which allows you to view the entire family with one
click.
●
Find people
travelling to America, Canada, India, New Zealand, Australia and elsewhere
in the Passenger lists of
people departing by sea from the United Kingdom.
●
View images of the original
passenger list documents that had been kept by the Board of Trade's Commercial and Statistical
Department and its successors.
● Discover the ages, last address and where the passenger intended to make their permanent residence.
● These
fully indexed records allow family
historians to search by name, year,
country of departure, country of arrival, port of embarkation and port of
destination.
Those with ancestors who sailed from Britain in the 1930’s
will welcome this fascinating new release from TheGenealogist,
which adds to their current Emigration records, now totalling over 19 million
and dating back to 1896.
