Is there any way to link to the results of a FreeBMD search from another website? To see what I'm trying to do, look at the FreeBMD links on this webpage: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~andrewgough/ACFGough.htm I chose to present the links in that way in order to give the FreeBMD project, and in particular the transcribers of those entries, the full credit for enabling me to find those marriages. I hope you will agree that this is a legitimate objective. Note also that I haven't actually proved that the marriages took place. All I have demonstrated is that the parties were two of the four individuals on those pages of the register. Presenting the link in this way enables the reader to judge for him/herself whether I've matched them correctly. However the links no longer work. Presumably I've fallen foul of the ban on searching FreeBMD from 3rd party websites (even though my site is also part of Rootsweb). Is there any way around this? Incidentally I do wonder whether such a strict ban is really necessary. Other similar websites seem to manage quite happily without a ban. For example there would be nothing to prevent me linking to Arthur Jefferson in the 1881 census via http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/census/household_record.asp?HOUSEHOLD_CODE=1881BR_4042203 Furthermore I could replace the current broken links with http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=freebmd&ti=0&f5=997&f6=1884&f7=March&f4=8c&f10=Marriages and http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=freebmd&ti=0&f5=104&f6=1850&f7=March&f4=17&f10=Marriages However I don't happen to want to give the credit for finding those marriages to Ancestry.com; I want to give it to FreeBMD.
