    3. Blank Hi, Just seen this message on another list and thought I would pass it on - wouldn't it be handy if when we are doing searches we can contact other interested parties - as the message says - it could knock down lots of brick walls!!!! Louise. I've been out of the loop for a bit so this might be old news, but if it isn't, and it can help others; FreeBMD has postem's that you can fill in. very small and basic, but very useful. if you find a relative or ancestor you know in the freebmd list, and they have "info" in red next to their listing, click on it to access the post-em window. we can save each other tons of fees for wrong certificates if we do this, and maybe net us some missing cousins, as well. I'm going back and adding postems to all of my people so it will help others. I have at least 100 individuals, and I don't think I'm going to do it for all three records if they're available-usually one would search for all three records of an individual, so I hope that will suffice. and the early ones only have a death record, if we're lucky, so that's what I'm heading for. so, here's another way to find our relatives. pass this on to the other British lists you're on, it could break down brick walls all over the place. I think I found my 4x grt grandmother today in freebmd. I don't think she was there last time I checked. I hope it's her, she'd break down her own brick wall if it is. haven't sent for her, yet, but I shall. ______________________________
