Free online search for medieval military ancestors newly available

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 25 January 2012

Many families have ancestors who fought bloody battles with swords and bows and arrows, serving in the British military under Henry V or fighting in the Hundred Years War, yet to date it has been difficult to find information to support this. The new Medieval Soldier Database which has gone live on the Forces War Records website is offering free searches of an extensive database which includes muster roll evidence showing which Lord each soldier worked for, as well as full profiles of individual soldiers, organised by name, surname, rank and date of record, and all types of soldier profiles, from a royal duke to a peasant archer.

Of interest to the discerning family historian, these records are presented in an easy searchable format, and provide a great resource for tracing family military ancestry back to 1350. Uniquely, these medieval war records also match relevant battles and campaigns to each solider where applicable.

Prior to the arrival of the printing press in the 1440’s, spelling was not standardised and names often appeared in either Latin, the Church’s main language, or French which the Royal Court used. The Medieval Soldier Database allows for alternate spellings of surnames to broaden the search possibilities.

Forces War Records holds the most extensive database of British Armed Forces who either died in battle or are still alive today. Search military records by name and unit, and find out more about military genealogy on the Forces War Records website.

Announcing the 2010 Reviewers’ Choice Hotel Awards from FunnelScope, an Innovative Hotel Search Engine

Congratulations to the 2010 FunnelScope Reviewers’ Choice Hotel Award Winners!

New York, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2010

The Reviewers’ Choice Hotel Awards for U.S. hotels provide a unique and broad perspective by taking into account user experiences via millions of unbiased hotel reviews and distilling their implied ratings across numerous categories. These categories include: bed comfort, bathroom quality, beach hotels, service quality, business, access to entertainment, family-friendly, gym quality, pet-friendly, pool quality, romantic, overall value, and quality of views.

These days most of us rely on user reviews to help us make travel decisions. FunnelScope’s hotel search engine takes this a step further by quantifying user reviews into ratings that can be quickly and easily understood. FunnelScope’s unique semantic technology was used in scoring the reviews.

Millions of hotel reviews are posted online each year at multiple websites. It’s too much information to digest. In fact, it’s nearly impossible, not to mention a time waste, to find and read all the hotel reviews available. But online hotel reviews are a trusted and valuable source of information. They help people make their hotel booking decisions and often are a key factor that determines the quality of their trip.

Funnelscope solves the problem of being able to digest all that information.

Travelers have been waiting for someone smart to compile all that hotel review information on the web into an easily digestible format. Travelers only want to see reviews that help them find a hotel that meets their needs. FunnelScope is doing just that – simplifying hotels research to find the perfect hotel.

The awards are listed below by category. Congratulations to the hotels listed. They’ve won FunnelScope’s first annual Reviewers Choice awards.

Consumers searching for the right hotel are also winners. Why? Because now they can use FunnelScope’s innovative hotel research engine to generate a personalized hotel list specific to their criteria and location (city or neighborhood).
