Hi does anyone have any experience on searching records in the USA from the 1940s to the present day. Many thanks

Or the phone book

Thanks Erica. Do they have a BDM as we do?

Can't give a definitive answer on that.

You could google

I’m fairly sure they don’t have a BDM site like ours.

You will need Ancestry world. Many libraries are currently allowing online access to Ancestry Library edition which is similar or the same as World. You just need a library card.
Some countries don’t allow access to BDM’s for a specific period of time.
