Has anyone else had problems with this ? I can't get on to Free BMD and thought I'd cracked it when I found this one but despite registering I can't get on - I just get 'Page cannot be displayed 'all the time. Offers of help please ? Am I doing something wrong ? Mary Brooke

If its the BDM site you're talking about, I've just been on adding a couple more certificates with no problems. There was a message on the site apologizing if people have been haiving problems. They've added more fields for each certificate you have. Mebbe its something to do with that. Just in case, this is the web site address that I used: www . bdm . c o . uk (not bmd) Rachel

Cheers, thats how I typed it in. I get on to the page but can't seem to get past the registration - maybe I've worn my computer out today ! Mary Just tried to get on again by going through the registration and there's mention of making sure my cookies are enabled if I register. Maybe thats my problem, more so as I no computer buff and haven't a clue what cookies are let alone how to enable them ! Thought cookies was another term for biscuits ! Mary

I sometimes have a problem with this site. Usually ok though, if it persists mail the owner, he is very helpful and wants this site to work. If only more GC members would use it, I think it would become even more useful

Hi everyone, I've been using this site since it first came on the web and last week for the first time ever i was contacted by somebody. Turns out that he is the Gt grandson of the brother of my gt grandfather (3rd cousin is that?). So excited, It's the first contact ive had from anywhere that has'nt turned out to be wrong. Jane
