If the Government proposals for restriction to 100 years for certificates goes through. Maybe GC could add a certificate field to our trees. We could then upload coppies of certs. so that anyone with permission to view our tree could access the certs as well. Any thoughts Bob

Hello, I for one am already happy to send copies of the certificates I have in my possession to any other individual who is part of my tree - it's no skin off my nose to do this, as I have had the pleasure (and the pain) of researching and the excitement (and disappointment) of receiving the results. I make the assumption that my rellies feel the same way and would provide what info they have if I request it. Jacqui

Hi Bob You can do this now thru bmd exchange. All mine are on there. You don't have to be willing to sell the actual certs, which was the original idea I think. But any interested party can e-mail for more info. Debbie
