FreeBMD is still very incomplete in both chronological and geographic coverage, especially for the 20th century. I *know* exactly where and when my great-grandfather died and have seen the original registry record, but he's not listed in a district that is supposedly >99% done. |

What's the advantage to using find my past for bmd searches when freebmd is a FREE site, and is the official site for all bmds from the inception of registation in September 1837? |

Find My Past is much better than Genes Reunited for doing BMD searches. GR doesn't index the pages properly so you will often pay for pages that don't contain the name you are looking for. This week, after searching for some names over a 25yr period (4 quarters per year), I took extensive notes and found the error rate was astonishingly high. In only 2 years were all the pages correct. In the others the errors were 25-75% !!!! GR's only response was to trickle out replacement credits. |
