Burke's Peerage & Gentry Books now Online

The Burke's Peerage & Gentry series of books have been digitized and is now available online as a paid database of over 5,000 records.

The main site is at http://www.burkes-peerage.net/ . Access to the records is $25 for 24 hours or $99 for a year's access. Searching is frree.

Searching for Dupree found five results. Search results include family name and incumbent name, as well as a little bit of the lineage. To get additional information you'll need to log in. Once logged in, you can view the family home page or the entire record. The family record contains a little information about the family and lineage of that family.

The full record contains information about lineage of the family (extensive family information, including marriages, deaths, children, and sometimes details like publications and military service) in addition to the family's coat of arms, with description.

This month, the site will be adding US families with British ancestry, and in November the genealogies of all US presidents will be added.
