  • London FamilySearch Centre at The National Archives

    Just received from Family Search

    The London FamilySearch Centre will close on Saturday, 23 March 2019

    Advances in technology mean that FamilySearch can now provide its free services to visitors at The National Archives more flexibly. Many records can now be accessed at home, in one of our local Family History Centres, or in a FamilySearch Affiliate Library. The National Archives has agreed to become a FamilySearch Affiliate Library, meaning that access to all digitised records on FamilySearch will continue on PCs located in the reading rooms.

    Visitors will need a FREE FamilySearch account to access records and self-help guides will be available. You will notice little difference, other than that our volunteer workers will no longer be present to provide 1 to 1 assistance. Available digital records include: British Newspaper Archive, Family Notices• & Obituaries England Births and Christenings, Marriages, Deaths and Burials from 1538• England and Wales Census Indexes, 1841 to 1911• England and Wales, National Index of Wills and Administrations, 1858-1957• Parish records for many churches in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland• Workhouse Records, Land Tax assessments• War Office Registers, 1772-1935; World War I Service Records, 1914-1920• Free access to many records from countries across the world.• Plus many more•

    Ancestry Institution UK and FindMyPast are available on computers at The National Archives.

    Oh dear. I had a feeling this would happen, not that I have ever used this centre. I used to go weekly to my local centre for years but that too has closed. For some unknown reason I cannot register with familysearch, it says I already have an account but when I request a password reminder, it says I haven't!

      I gave up on Family Search after they moved the web site. I registered and kept a note of my password etc but it won't let me in with it, and everything else I have tried has failed. They still insist on sending me e-mails from time to time though telling me about new records.
