FreeBMD searches, particularly at busy times and whilst the hardware is being upgraded, can result in a message encouraging the free use of a copy of the database on Ancestry.com. Unfortunately, the version Ancestry has is woefully out of date - apparently containing 62 million records and last updated in February 2005. This compares rather unfavourably with the 111 million or so distinct records now on FreeBMD. Does anybody know if or when Ancestry plan to update their version of the database? Barry Callaghan
