it was me that posted the original news and no its not a hoax - I'm happy to forward the email to a third party to prove it if necessary (it'd need to be someone I know an trust tho because it has press contact details on that can't be given out) |

This is a reply someone had posted on a similar thread...... After reading some of the replies I thought I would check that my account is all set for tomorrow so phoned Ancestry and yes I'm all ready to go and so I asked this very nice guy is it true that the full BMD index is going on line tomorrow and his answer was YES , he also said that there would be lots of new things coming on line, so its seems there is lots to look forward to. |

Could be a temporary sort of hoax by 1837 or Family Rellies??? I used up most of my units last night on others because I thought I would be using Ancestry today!! LOL .........Now.......shall I buy more on those other sites, or not??????????????? Merry (hope I don't get sued for libel!) |

Apart from the recent press release, I have seen the GRO indexes mentioned as coming on to Ancestry be Easter (the same time as they are supposed to have the 1841 census).....but needless to say, I cannot remember where I read that (would be a couple of months back, if not more). I think the various offers being made for unit prices on 1837online do suggest there is something afoot......... I think we should all be checking blurbs in Family History Mags to see if there's any mention there.......... (but I don't have any recent ones here!!) Merry |

I vote hoax, though I'd very much like to be proved wrong. I had a random email from Ancestry just yesterday which mentioned absoultely nothing about this fantastic new service - and make no mistake it would be a FANTASTIC service to offer! I live in hope. |

Still nothing about the BMD on Ancestry, do you think it was a hoax announcement by someone? Or, has it just been delayed |
