Hello Rhodri It is my understanding that the BMDs certificates have been digitised at great expense to the taxpayer. The index for these certificates have also been digitised at great expense to the public although the digital index was made from the ones held at General Register Office, which were indexed off the local returns and were not as accurate as the local index, due to the incentives given to those doing the work. Thank you Gareth P.S. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/62779 http://anguline.co.uk/ohrn.html -------------------------------------------- On Tue, 25/3/14, RHODRI DAFIS <rdafis@fsmail.net> wrote: Megan, Are you on commission, to so blatantly advance the interests of an apparently Commercial Enterprises?
