Editor's Verdict:

WorldVitalRecords was established in 2006 by several of the key members of the original Ancestry.com team. With this pedigree, it's unsurprising that WorldVitalRecords is a real up-and-coming player in the world of online genealogy. Even in it's short lifetime, the site has attained a number of awards for excellence in the genealogy industry (notably from Genealogy magazine, Alexa and 101 Best Family Websites). With unlimited access to more than a billion different record entries, spanning more than 11 thousand different databases, the chances of success on this website are pretty high.

WorldVitalRecords provides access to some of the best online genealogy records including immigration lists, census records, vital records, parish and land records. These records are regularly updated, and we were particularly excited by the number of innovative and unusual new listings that appeared during the course of our research. Rare collections, such as passenger lists from immigrant vessels, yearbooks from US highschools and universities, manuscripts and major new census documents are amongst the best of the new collections. With such a focus on high quality materials and constant updating, this site is ideal for the serious genealogist as well as the beginner. The excellent search facility allows users to search by country, region or US state and to cross reference the results against a number of international records. We feel that this search facility allows users to get the best out of the numerous records that are hosted on the site, and is a particularly excellent feature. Another excellent element of WorldVitalRecords is the community feel that is generated through the myriad of 'community' related features on the site. Users can contact other users using forums and message boards and even use chat to get in contact with other members.

We were particularly impressed by the number of additional features provided as part of membership of WorldVitalRecords. Members receive a free monthly genealogy newsletter and have unlimited access to online tutorials to help with the occasionally difficult task of searching record entries for particular individuals. A range of articles, written by genealogy experts and a dedicated telephone helpline means that if you do encounter any problems, WorldVitalRecords are right on hand to help. The WorldVitalRecords Store is one of the best of its kind we have come across, well stocked with a number of useful genealogical products to help aid in your research.

WorldVitalRecords is an excellent site with a range of resources at your disposal. With a seven day free trial and a thirty day money back guarantee we advise all users to give this site a go and see what it has to offer. Our only difficulty with this site, and something we hope will be corrected as it matures, is that there is no built in software for creating your family tree. This means that WorldVitalRecords will need to be used in conjunction with family tree builder software, such as Family Tree Maker. Notwithstanding this, the site remains excellent value for money, so if Ancestry.com isn't for you (or is a little pricey), check this out as a great value alternative!
