The database will be free to everyone from Thursday, November 25, through Sunday, November 28, 2004. We encourage all NEHGS members to spread the word about this offering, and we hope that those who are not members are able to find a veritable feast of ancestors in the Register database! Published quarterly since 1847, The New England Historical and Genealogical Register is the flagship journal of American genealogy and the oldest journal in the field. The online database includes issues from 1847 to 1994. The Register has featured articles on a wide variety of topics since its inception, including vital records, church records, tax records, land and probate records, cemetery transcriptions, obituaries, and historical essays. Authoritative compiled genealogies have been the centerpiece of the Register for more than 150 years. Thousands of New England families have been treated in the pages of the journal and many more are referenced in incidental ways throughout. The articles in the Register range from short pieces correcting errors in print or solving unusual problems to larger treatments that reveal family origins or present multiple generations of a family. While gathered with family over the Thanksgiving weekend, this offering is a unique opportunity to search for ancestors, New England families, notables, and more in one of America's most prestigious genealogical journals. Details on how to obtain free access to the Register will be available beginning on Thanksgiving, Thursday, November 25, on the home page of the NEHGS website, www.NewEnglandAncestors.org <http://www.newenglandancestors.org/> .
