Findmypast is a privately held UK-based online genealogy service owned by British company DC Thomson. It was the first company in the world to make the complete birth, marriage, and death indexes for England and Wales available online and for this was awarded the Queen's Award for Innovation in 2007. There are currently a wide variety of census, directory and historical record information available from across the English-speaking world. Findmypast has over 2 billion searchable records worldwide but, though it is possible to search their indexes for free, a payment or subscription is required to access the full data.
