Subject: ATB: [GWYNEDD] UKBMD certificates online survey
Hello Lorna,
There are two free to view sites that contain partial indexes
to the BMD registers. FreeBMD is an index to the central
collections of certificates held by the GRO - it is this site
that has images of the surname lists.
UKBMD is split into a number of smaller sites - North Wales
BMD, Cheshire BMD, Bath BMD etc these contain indexes to the
local registration office held certificates.
The survey is about government plans to make the actual full
certificates available to view on line, (probably only those
over 100 years old) and asks if you would prefer to see the
local office certificates or the central copies. Personally I
would like to see both versions available - but then I always
have been greedy:-)
All the best
Alwyn
