I saw this on another list and seems a good idea This is a plea to everyone who has received a BMD certificate for England and Wales. Please 1. Go to FreeBMD and find the index to your certificate. 2. Click 'Info' and send a Postem. There is enough space given on the Postem form to enter all the relevant details from the certificate - places, parent names, spouse names etc. If most users did this, it would contribute towards making the acquisition of a certificate less of an expensive lottery than the indexing system makes it now. Imagine looking up the FreeBMD index and being able to eliminate certificates that the Postem shows are not yours! You can also include a contact email address. Regards Peter G
