Dig deeper into the lives of Canadian and US ancestors

War pensioners, British loyalists and Manitoba BMDS are among the new records added to Findmypast’s Canada and US collections

Thousands of Canada and USA records have been added to Findmypast over the past month, covering centuries of history.

Manitoba Vital Records covers births, marriages and deaths in this province of Canada, comprising more than 39,000 individual records. Explore these at https://familytr.ee/manitoba

Next is an 1840 US census of pensioners of the Revolutionary War, covering both veterans and widows, taken as part of the United States Federal Census of 1840. The release includes transcripts and images that are listed geographically and may provide names of multiple family members not included in the population schedule of that census.
