As a transcriber myself, I thought I would just add something to this thread. Please be aware that it is a good idea to check just how much information from a particular year has actually been transcribed at present. On the first page, click Information, then under Statistics/Coverage you will see how much of the years have been done for Births/Marriages/Deaths. As you will see very little of 1865 Marriages have yet been transcribed! I'm not surprised there are some errors - you should see some of the scans I have been trying to read and they are typewritten! Jacki |

Hi Jacki Know what you mean there. Mine are all typed as well, but can be real eyesight tests!! Just as an update, I've been on the web site this evening, and only had 1 "server is busy" message - that's with looking for about 30 different records, so I don't think that's bad. Pauline |

I have never had to pay to access Freebmd - is everyone else looking at something I dont know about? Lancsbmd is brill - by no means complete but I have found several entries which I couldnt find on the mind-numbingly slow slog through the Civil Regs on Ancestry. |

Kate - It is possible to save your searches in Free BMD. When the page displays the names you are looking for, go to File, save as, and save the page. When you want to see if any changes have been made after an update, on the search page, at the bottom, you will see a box called saved search. Just browse to your original file, then click on "Find Additional". It will bring up any additional entries. Hope this helps. Lesley |
