Findmypast Friday — McGill University WWI honour roll, Pennsylvania births and baptisms

Findmypast has again expanded its global offering. Records for First World War Canada and 17th century Pennsylvania have been added to the genealogy website. 

Canada, McGill University Honour Roll, 1914-1918 
This new collection includes graduates of McGill University who served in the First World War. You may find photographs and details of their military service, plus insights into their university career. If a soldier was killed, you’re likely to discover a fuller biography.

Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Births & Baptisms 
Over 20,000 new records for Indiana County in Pennsylvania have been added to this existing collection. Spanning from 1660-1992, you may uncover both recent relatives and distant ancestors. You can normally expect a year and parents’ names, but check the originals where available for more rich detail.
