    Advantages Advantages Completely Free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can Be Quite Slow At Times

    There are many different Internet sites which are useful for finding information if you are researching your Family Tree. One such site is Free BMD which as its name suggests is completely free to access and use. THE OBJECTIVE OF FREE BMD Free BMD takes its name from the three primary sources of information for anyone researching their Family History: Birth, Marriage and Death. In particular this site contains civil registration records of Births, Marriages and Deaths from March 1837 when Civil registration became law up to 1984, although its primary objective is to cover the period up to the ... more

    Advantages Advantages Everything is free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Won't interest you if your not interested in genealogy

    Freebmd.org is a fantastic website in my opinion, as it provides a large wealth of free information on birth, marriages and deaths. I have been conducting research into my genealogy for quite some time and found freebmd about 18 months ago whilst browsing on the Internet. The site itself is relatively easy to navigate in my opinion and frequently updated, which is always a bonus. When you first get to the site you will find yourself on a homepage that offers you many options. For the beginning genealogist you simply click on the search button and then begin searching for whatever it is you ... more

    Advantages Advantages It's free! Better searches, and search options then other sites

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Not complete yet.

    FreeBMD is an ongoing project, the aim of which is to transcribe the Civil Registration index of births, marriages and deaths for England and Wales, and to provide free Internet access to the transcribed records. The transcribing of the records is carried out by teams of volunteers and contains index information for the period 1837-1983. The project is not finished yet and you may not be able to find the records you are looking for (I have been successful in around 90% of searches). I have done searches on many sites but have found that FreeBMD is the best for finding what you want. It has ... more

    Advantages Advantages Easy to find BMD records, it's free

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Searches won't be processed if the results exceed 3000 so it helps to have more than just a name

    If I'm looking for a birth, marriage or death as part of my family history research, this is the first site I head for in most cases. For those who are not familiar with the site, it's a means of searching for birth, marriage and death records so that you can get the necessary details to allow you to order the certificate from the General Register Office (GRO) if you so wish. While I've done this on a small number of occasions, I usually use the site to confirm suspicions regarding dates and rule out things that don't tie in with what I know from census records etc. SEARCHING FOR ... more
