Goodbye and thank you to all our loyal customers

FamilyHistoryOnline.net ceased to trade at noon on Monday, 2 March 2009. Most of the records you have enjoyed on this site, have been transferred to findmypast.com, one of the leading suppliers of UK family history records where there are many more records.

You can find out more about this here in these answers to questions we've compiled.

You can no longer transfer your remaining balance to Findmypast.com as the six month limit must now have expired.

If you have any queries contact: info@findmypast.com.
