Also new this week, over 21,500 new Lincolnshire Monumental Inscription records from over 60  parishes. Boston has the largest addition, over 7,000 records. 
The new total is 169,624 transcription records from the Lincolnshire Family History Society.

Finally this week, 1,040 records of Caribbean, 1st Bn Royal Regiment Of Foot Deaths 1801-1811
These unique records reveal names, ranks and death details of British Army soldiers stationed in the West Indies in the early 19th century. There's an error as these are associated with the First World War subcategory.

  1. It would be impressive if all these records were original. Most have been pinched from other free resources like FamilySearch. IMHO that's a ripoff.
