Origins Network Upgrade

The UK genealogy-data site formerly known as Origins.net has given itself a new name, Origins Network, to accompany its broader coverage and its switch to a subscription payment system.

Webmasters also renamed their English records collection “British Origins,” reflecting the network’s plan to add non-English records, including the 1871 census of Glamorgan, Wales. The Irish and Scottish collections already contain new databases. Origins Search, a free, genealogy-specific search engine that previously found Irish Web sites, will now find English and Scottish sites for you, too.
