I'm not able to access free bmd due to firewall and ancestry was really useful for looking up births,marriages and deaths. Now when I try I am asked to register ad reading through terms and conditions mention is made of credit cards etc. although it states this is free. Am I reading it wrong ? Mary

Hi I have sometimes found that my link to "search" doesn't go where I was expecting first time around but comes up with the goods eventually if I re-click on my bookmark. On the other hand they may have moved the goalposts since I last looked a couple of days ago. Christine

I've tried several times today and did a few days ago - same thing happened. Last week after the same performance I actually got it ! Couldn't believe my luck ! Blessed if I remember whether I did anything different or not. I'll just have to keep trying..............(deep sigh!) Mary

Just wanted you to know there are several people on GC, such as myself, who have annual subscriptions to Ancestry and are willing to do research for anyone that makes a request. I had the same issue with my firewall preventing access to FreeBMD. I would just disable it when I wanted to check FreeBMD and enable when finished.
