It is more complete and also has the Postems which give additional information not otherwise found in the indices. Ancestry's version stops in about 1916 whilst that on FreeBMD's own site go up to the 1950s now. FreeBMD's sister projects can be found at www.freereg.org.uk (parish registers) and www.freecen.org.uk (censuses). Both are, like FreeBMD, volunteer projects and not yet complete. FreeREG has a heck of a long way to go and is great need of more volunteers to do transcriptions. -- Charani (UK) OPC for Walton, Ashcott, Shapwick, Greinton and Clutton, SOM http://wsom-opc.org.uk
