Searching individuals is now free and 4 new sources
GeneaGenie
Hello
The mission of GeneaGenie has always been clear: to make historical data more accessible and searchable for everyone. To reinforce this promise and support the genealogical community, we have made manual person searches 100% free from now on. Our goal is to remove every barrier, ensuring the path to the past lies wide open for every researcher.
In addition to this change, we have added no fewer than 963,905 new records this month. Below, you can read all about the new features and the sources we have unlocked.

A new way to search

Starting today, credits are no longer required to search for a specific person. You can now search our index of millions of records indefinitely at no cost.
To make smooth and unlimited searching possible, we have redesigned the interface. Starting a new search has been given a more prominent place, and the search form has moved to a collapsible sidebar. This allows you to always see exactly what you searched for and start a new search immediately.
Credits are now only needed for saving a search query (so you receive a notification when new potential matches are found) and for automatically cross-referencing your family tree with our entire database via a GEDCOM file.

FelixArchief Antwerp – Causes of Death – 377,755 records
This unique database is the result of the citizen science project S.O.S. Antwerp. Thanks to the efforts of more than 750 volunteers, the death cause registers from 1820 to 1946 have been digitized. Antwerp was far ahead of the rest of Belgium in this regard. In addition to the cause of death, the records contain details such as name, age, marital status, and occupation of the deceased, providing a rare and detailed glimpse into life and mortality in the city of Antwerp.

Grafmonumenten Vlaanderen – 511,605 records
This extensive project (known in the Midwest region as Versteende Getuigenissen) unlocks both administrative data and detailed inventories of heritage graves. It serves as a digital repository for Flemish funerary heritage, including information on graves that have physically disappeared over time. Thanks to years of dedication from municipalities and volunteers, these "stony witnesses" are now searchable for everyone looking for their roots.
