Sue, http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/ Welcome to FreeBMD. FreeBMD stands for Free Births, Marriages, and Deaths. The FreeBMD Project's objective is to provide free Internet access to the Civil Registration index information for England and Wales. The Civil Registration system for recording births, marriages, and deaths in England and Wales has been in place since 1837 and is one of the most significant single resources for genealogical research back to Victorian times. The FreeBMD project only contains index information for the period 1837-1901. SUEWFISHER@aol.com wrote: Can someone tell me what FreeBMD is??? It sounds interesting!
