No. in Tree: 1925 No. of Certs: couple of dozen Time doing this: My dad started in late 1970's and I joined him in this quest last year. Hubby's side No. in Tree: 441 No. of certs: a couple Time doing this: my onlaws started in late 1970's and just did it sporadically. I started on their line last year and have added about 150 of those names. Trying to get them more interested! Joanne |

- c300 names, - 15 certificates (not including 5 wrong ones) - Started July 2004 Lack of funds to purchase more certificates being the main thing that is slowing me down! Tracy, how did you manage to get 900+ people and only have to purchase 1 birth certificate? (I'm just jealous) Sam |

Anon - luckily for me, some of the ones I'm related to all have a rare surname, so any I find can be slotted into my tree lol The others have been a bit harder to research, which is why I put in that I have had lots of help from certain people on this site. |

Hi all. Just thought it would be interesting to see the amount of BMD certs everyone has got in relation to their tree size and how long they have been researching for. Your Tree size does not have to be what you have on GR as I myself have 148 in my tree but only 111 on GR & the No of BMD certs can include photocopies. Me: Tree = 148 BMD = 41 Time = 1 year 6 months |
