This is one of those weeks where FMP is scraping the bottom of the barrel. Or, that could be unearthing hidden treasures if you have an ancestor among the 19,990 new records from Yorkshire this week. The 3,853 baptism records come from “parishes across Yorkshire” between 1859 and 1924. Just over sixteen thousand monumental inscriptions are from as far back as the 17th century.
Newspapers with additions before 1900 this week are the South Eastern Advertiser (Sussex) for 1861-1896, 1898-1902, 1907-1915, 1917, Belfast News-Letter, 1767, Bognor Regis Observer, 1883, 1961-1969, Lancaster Guardian, 1853-1854, 1856, 1909, 1911-1912, 1957-1967, 1975, 1988-1990, 1992, 1998, Market Rasen Weekly Mail, 1875, Rugby Advertiser, 1873, 1900, 1994-1995, 1999, 2002, and Thame Gazette, 1876, 1983-1985, 1987-1994, 2001-2003.
The additional Yorkshire records are indeed beginning to fill in the gaps of a cousin who now lives in America
I will say though that FMP has been rather slow in providing name rich information other then the increase in newspapers
