Member Since: January 2004 Posts: 821 Send Message	When I try to search a record Birth/Marriage/Death on both FreeBMD and LDS websites I almost always get the reply "No Records". I was suspicious of this and fed the info in using the information from certificates I already have (therefore I know they are correct) and still I get the same feedback of "No Records". Does anyone know why this is happening. Thanks Linda

It looks like 5D 1522 Fredericks marriage in 1973. When you check underneath his there is a Mary V Frankie married the same qt Bexley to Micallef. Cross ref is Bryan L Micallef gro ref 5A 485

Member Since: October 2005 Posts: 22 Send Message	hi. its because not all records have been transcribed. sometimes if you look again in a couple of months you may find what you are after.

	the marriges you are looking for are too late for Freebmd and IGI .Freebmd is transcribing around the 1920,s at the mo ,and IGI has never covered the dates you are looking for they have mostly parish records
