Hi List For those who have asked what is the BMD Index. Well it is an internet project to transcribe the GRO Index of Birth, Marriage, Deaths for the UK. The same one thats on microfiches at libraries etc. Then make it available the internet. Volunteers are doing the transcribing. It is at http://freebmb.rootsweb.com If your relations are not on it now it is worth checking every so often as it is being added to each week Hope this helps Jayne
