Free B.M.D.s  Involves transcribing the General Register Office index of 100 million births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales (1837 to 1900) and making the details available on the internet.   A database is being produced which allows you to search for your ancestors easily and has no charges attached.  Records are transcribed by volunteers with everyone giving as much (or as little) time as our lives permit.  Transcription is simple and relaxing and the result is a major step forward for family history research.  If you would like to join the army of FreeBMD volunteers, it couldn't be easier.  Just click on the link provided and follow the instructions on the website.
