Hi Christine,
It took me ages to get used to putting surname first and then forenames
after. I find it useful to tick the phonetic spelling option as well. And
don't forget, Free BMD is an ongoing project, so not all indexes have been
transcribed, not by a long way. I've also noticed that sometimes the
registration district hasn't been spelled correctly, and the only way you
can pick up those particular indexes is by searching "all districts".
Generally speaking though, I've had a fair bit of success with Free BMD, and
have managed to fill in a lot of gaps in the family.
I hope you begin getting much better success with it yourself now, best
wishes,
Jon
