Above this board is a menu, it reads from left to right " Home, family tree, search trees. .......Help"

Click on 'Help' and it will give a drop down menu the last entry on which is "How to find your Ancestors online" . Whilst this is by no means an exhaustive explanation of how to search, it does give a decent starting point...particularly the sections on

Introduction to records
Birth, Marriage and Deaths.
Other online resources (which does not, but shold include the site http://www.freebmd.org.uk/)

It will in this case help to read ( I normally don't bother with instruction manuals lol)

Happy hunting !
