Northumberland Burials
Over 98,000 new records added from 3 Northumberland parishes; Alnwick, St Michael, Newcastle upon Tyne, Ballast Hills Primitive Methodist, and Thropton, All Saints Roman Catholic.

Northumberland and Durham Memorial Inscriptions

Other records include over 4.5 million Texas county tax records from 1846 to 1910, both transcripts and associated image of the original document. Also, 103,488 new newspaper pages digitized and searchable including two titles new to the collection, one each from Scotland and Wales.
