MyHeritage Research - our genealogy search engine - has been improved and expanded.

Currently, it includes 1,526 genealogically relevant resource databases - representing more than 12 billion names - to provide usable information to family history researchers.

Even better, MyHeritage members can access the search engine directly from Family Tree Builder.

The latest edition includes 156 new sources. Among them:

Spock people finder

Facebook

Michigan Census

German Emigrants Database

BMD Registers UK

USA Gov search

Western Michigan Newspapers

Digg

Palatines to America

US Social Security Death Index

Prague Police Headquarters Conscriptions (1850-1914)

Consolidated Index of Sephardic Surnames

Arizona Birth and Death Certificates

European Patent Office

Some sites are free, some require subscriptions. For a paid site search, MyHeritage viewers will see the details that the subscription site provides on its free search. To see more than that, however, a subscription to that site is required. In the US, many public libraries offer free access to some major subscription-only databases.

Using MyHeritage Research accesses only genealogically relevant resources which helps researchers find those websites and databases most relevant to their unique family histories.
