Christine You can't view the original certificate, is that what you're trying to do? FreeBMD gives you the reference numbers so that you can send for the certificate from the GRO. There ain't much for free in this hobby!!!!! Margaret

Christine Are you sure you are waiting long enough for your computer to download the matches. I know sometimes when there are quite a few it takes a few seconds, then scroll down the page. Have you had the problem before? Margaret
