Member Since: November 2004 Posts: 1 Send Message	Hi, I'm new to this detective work - can anyone tell me how I find birth records for an ancestor born in 1818 without spending money or travelling to the local BMD office. The only info I have is that the family came from the Kendal area. Many thanks Brenda

	Well you could start with the Family Search site (new pilot one mentioned in a recent post is very good). OR you could give all the details here and someone might take a look if they already have a subscription to a suitable site.
