Thanks for that

Even though some years still incomplete and updating is for the better.

I always add BMD's as Postems and if I can update an error that I spot I will do so.

Every little helps, said the old lady as she ................................. :-S

I have found few of mine on there now that were not there on the last up date. I was on the last up date and yes Jax it makes you feel old when you see it on there.

My friend also found one of her that she has been looking for. So at least its helped some of us.

Happy hunting

Births thru 1939 (there are still 13 incomplete quarters of B's in the 1940s), Marrs thru 1951 & Deaths thru 1950 are essentially complete with a handful of exceptions:

Births Dec 1918 (98%) *
Births Dec 1939 (39%) **************
--------------------------------------------
Marriages Dec 1920 (60%) *******************
--------------------------------------------
Deaths Dec 1844 (99%) *
Deaths Sep 1879 (99%) *
Deaths Dec 1879 (99%) *

About 60% of quarters from 1950s are essentially complete, and 0% from 1960q2 on.

Since Ancestry uses FreeBMD's transcriptions thru 1915, it's worth noting the essential completion of D1863q2 in this last update.
