Findmypast has announced the creation of a brand new resource specifically designed to help U.S. researchers trace their British and Irish heritage. And the new collection is free to search and explore for a limited time! Findmypast describes the British and Irish Roots Collection thus: Explore this unique collection, hand-picked by our in-house experts. It brings together 98 million records that identify a British or Irish emigrant. For example, a U.S. military record noted that a soldier was of Welsh origin. In a separate marriage records from Massachusetts, a bride is listed as being born in Athlone, Ireland. Until now these valuable migration clues could not be searched together in a single place. The collection include passenger lists, census records, naturalization applications, and draft registrations, as well as birth, marriage and death records. The new collection - and its free access - merit some immediate experimentation. Give it a go here:  https://search.findmypast.ie/search-world-Records/british-and-irish-roots-collection.
