Free Access to MyHeritage Death-Related Records, until 2nd November

[Chris Doran]

For Halloween. Worldwide death, burial, cemetery, and obituary records. Exact end time not stated, but it's usually 11:59 pm Mountain Time on the last day, which I make to be 6:59 am GMT on Monday 3rd.

Introduction
Collection catalogue

It says it has 18 collections added or updated sibce last year. I am pleased to see that on a few spot checks, My Heritage's "United Kingdom Deaths, 1980-2024" register doesn't suffer from the transcription errors resulting from assuming American date order found in Ancestry's similarly-named "United Kingdom Deaths, 1989-2024" which may or may not be related. If you have used the Ancestry one in the past, I suggest you take the opportunity to check, especially if you got a low-numbered month and day. They usually noticed the problem for "impossible" dates but didn't always fix it correctly. 

You need an account (free) but do not need to sign up for a free trial of the whole site. No payment details are taken on registration.

As always with free periods, save anything of interest on your own device, as you'll need a sub to see it after the offer closes.

Note that some of these records are free at all times elsewhere, like FreeBMD, so check before expending too much midnight oil.
