This might be of interest to those researching ancestors in England and
Wales.
I think most of the info is for the 1800's but give it a look.
Let the list know if you find anything interesting.

FREE BMD MAKES ITS FIRST MILLION
On 3 February 2000, FreeBMD <
http://FreeBMD.RootsWeb.com/>
announced that, as of 1 February 2000, there are has more than
one million entries in its database of transcribed vital records
of England and Wales that are more than 100 years old.
FreeBMD co-Leader Camilla Gemmingen von Massenbach thanked all
the volunteers who transcribe the records and RootsWeb for
providing FreeBMD with a new server (dual Pentium III/500 with
1 GB RAM and 8x18 GB of RAID hard disk) and access to 45 Mb of
bandwidth, commenting: "[t]his should remove the overload
problem for FreeBMD and give plenty of room for expansion."
