Louise Have you actually joined one of our Syndicates via our Page at: http://www2.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/list-synd.pl?reader=0 ? The Co-ordinator of the Syndicate will then give you an assignment once you have registered your SubmitterID. I'm guessing that you have subscribed only to our mailing list, you also need to register for a SubmitterID (using the link above) to be able to transcribe and upload records to FreeBMD. Any problems please email our Volunteers Co-ordinator at: vol-coord@freebmd.rootsweb.com ?

I have downloaded the Windows BDM & am ready to be productive. I have been doing family tree research for about 1- 1/2 years & have had quite a bit of success; some from my own persistent detective work & lots given to me by cousins also doing family research.
