Dear Roger, The BVRI.2 is moderately priced, I bought mine a few years ago at a cost of AUD29.95, (by comparison the SMI cost about AUD49.95 when I bought it in 2004) It covers Marriages and Birth/Christenings only, it covers aome of the records missed by the IGI. it has coverage in over 40 counties. The cost when I bought it was equivalent to 2 certificates from the GRO for 17 CDs I`ve only had limited success with it, but it should be viewed as an extension of the IGI only. I don`t have all the information that you require, but I hope this helps, Regards Joe Austen 9934 in oz ----- Original Message ----- From: "ROGER RUSHTON" <rogerofgoostrey@btinternet.com> To: "SFHG" <sfhg@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 28, 2008 2:55 AM Subject: [SFHG] British Vital Records Index >I have just heard that the British Vital Records Index might be worth >purchasing. > > I would like comments from other listers on the BVRI CD set, with special > regard to the following points: > > 1.
