    1. [CORNISH] Off-topic: Family Search update information
    2. Julia Mosman
    3. Hello all - Hope this is of use to someone! "FamilySearch added an additional 38.5 million new, free indexed records and images this week to its collection. Notable additions include the 6,095,759 indexed records in the new United States World War II Army Enlistment Records collection, the 4,068,907 indexed records for the new United States, Germans to America Index from 1850-1897, the 2,922,943 added to the England and Wales Census of 1871, and the 2,608,645 added to the Denmark Estate Records collection from 1436-1964. Other new searchable collections online were added this week for Brazil, China, England, Ireland, Italy, Russia, Spain, and the United States." I didn't note any specific data re Cornwall, other than the 1871 UK census is now completely indexed, but that might help people whose relies 'disappeared' to somewhere other than Cornwall, but stayed in the UK. (and their indexing might differ from that done by Ancestry, so worth a look.)
