Available Datasets by Category

QFHS searchable datasets is a work-in-progress. It includes several indexes which have not been published before as well as many that have been previously released to subscription services. The data presented here is searchable using techniques developed for our CD products including wildcards, diacritics, and global searches.

This enables researchers to zoom in on nuanced data such as variant surname spelling.

A Global Keyword Search feature is available here.
