Australia Day: Free Australian records on MyHeritage
| A special announcement for those with family ties Down Under: in honor of Australia Day, there’s free access to more than 300 Australian historical record collections, including vital records, electoral rolls, convict records, and much more! The records will be free starting Saturday through Tuesday, January 25–28, 2025. The free records include 118.9 million historical records from every category. These records can help Australians piece together the stories of their ancestors, whether they were among the first settlers, immigrants seeking a new life, or individuals who contributed to the nation’s development in other ways.Usually, a Complete, Data, or Omni plan is required to view these records, but for a limited time only, anyone can search and view them for free. Note that non-MyHeritage users will be asked to create a free MyHeritage account to access them. Also note that records from OldNews.com, such as the recently added Australia, Names & Stories in Newspapers from OldNews.com and Australia Obituary Index from OldNews.com, are not included in the free promotion. While anyone can search these records for free on MyHeritage, accessing the full newspaper records requires an OldNews.com or Omni subscription. |
