About

I started the Family History Directory in 2011 as a simple way to keep track of the websites I used while researching my own UK ancestors. Over time, it grew into a directory of online family history resources to help other researchers too.

Today the focus is on the United Kingdom, so each page can offer meaningful links rather than many pages with few details. You’ll find websites with online records, along with transcribed parish registers, historical directories and other useful resources, all arranged alphabetically by location to make them easy to find.
