Searchable Databases Supplied by the CFHS and recommended external ones

Here are a variety of links related to Cambridgeshire which provide searchable databases. Some are free and others require a subscription, some provide indexes and some the whole information held. For External databases, where no obvious link is provided click on the logo. External databases open in a new window (we cannot vouch for the integrity or the accuracy of external databases).

Cambridgeshire Virtual War Memorial

The Menin GateWe are now in the run up to the centenary celebrations for one hundred years of the start of the First World War 1914-2014. The Cambridgeshire Family History Society are creating a "virtual war memorial" for the men from Cambridgeshire that gave their lives during the 1914-1919 conflict. In the lead up to the commemoration of World War 1 we are building a searchable database that we hope everybody will contribute to. This project is working hand-in-hand with the www.roll-of-honour.com website. The names of the men listed and researched there are being gradually added to the database and we hope that you will also contribute with extra information and photographs. The Virtual War Memorial database is on-line and being built gradually.
