MyHeritage is giving everyone a gift well ahead of the holiday season. Every day for the month of June, a different subscription record collection on the MyHeritage site will be freely available to all researchers.
The databases that will be available are being grouped by country. They have started off with an emphasis on Scandinavia. June 1 was a Swedish database, June 2 and 3 Danish, and June 4 and 5 will be from Norway.
After that come eight days of U.S. record sets, then two from Canada. Crossing the pond to Europe, we'll see records from France, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Hungary, and Spain. Then it's off to the bottom of the world — Australia!
After that it's zigzagging back and forth: Israel, Brazil, and back to Europe for Greece and Germany.
That certainly covers a wide territory, and there should be something in there to please most researchers.
Each of the databases will be totally free to use on its given day, but you will need to create an account to sign in on MyHeritage.
The complete list of databases by date is posted on the MyHeritage blog.
Warning: As I discussed in my Webinar about the MyHeritage newspaper collections, you cannot bring up a list of the newspapers in the Massachusetts, Florida, and Canada collections. I wish you could, but you can't. After you have made a search, you can look through the list of papers that show up in the results, but that's it.
