    3. > I presumme you are not aware that you can view the GRO indexes for free at ancestry.co.uk? I am confused about the bmd on ancestry. I thought they used the freebmd and I find that that is incomplete for entries after say 1900. However, recently when I have looked, I sometimes find entries on ancestry that are not on freebmd. What is going on?

    3. Stephen, All I know is that you can view 2 lots of bmd indexes. 1. The full GRO indexes as you would on 1837 but obviously you have to wade through the years 2. The free bmd to date which will search for the names as on the free bmd website. If others know otherwise please correct me!

What is going on? > I'm confused, too! Are you sure that you find entries on Ancestry that aren't on FreeBMD? The transcribed entries on Ancestry are actually taken from FreeBMD, so Ancestry should have the same or fewer records than FreeBMD. As Jackie mentioned, Ancestry does have the full GRO images from 1837-1983 which you can search and view for free at http://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/rectype/vital/freebmd/bmd.aspx Best wishes, Lynne
