A Historic Milestone: 32 Billion Historical Records Now Available On MyHeritage.com
Quoting from a recent blog post.
Last month we announced the release of the first 4 collections of Names & Stories, extracted from historical newspapers on OldNews.com using advanced AI technology. At the time, we shared that these collections were part of a groundbreaking project to add billions of new records to MyHeritage’s historical record database.Today, we are delighted to share that the project is complete! All 15 collections have now been published, bringing the total number of Names & Stories records added to 11.6 billion. The collections span all 50 U.S. states, as well as Canada, Australia, and the U.K. This momentous achievement increases MyHeritage’s total historical record count to a massive 32 billion records.
Additions to a newspaper database fall into the category of more is better. The large number of records added increases the possibility that your search will find valuable information. This is especially true if you have a data level subscription and a family tree on MyHeritage.com because you will get Record Matches to new articles. OldNews.com is available for a subscription price of $99 a year. Here is an example of a news page containing information about some of my relatives and ancestors.
