Hi Valerie The overseas indexes that are available for free on www.familyrelatives.com are just that , free You do not need to subscribe but do need to register (no CC details are required to do so) The index is only an index no matter where you find it, to view the details of a certificate you would need to buy it just as you would if using such as freebmd Other records on the site are pay per view or subscription I don't know what the original enquiry was as the subject line does not appear in the archives, but is it was for WW1 (which your post suggests) I posted earlier that War death certs are sparse in information More often it records cause of death as died of wounds, died of disease or similar and place of death as France & Flanders or similar The War deaths index does not state where the death occurred, you may have misread the Regiment abbreviation Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > "I think www.familyrelatives.com has the Overseas deaths available for > free." > > Thanks for the link to the overseas death.
