Can you not use freebmd? or is it a very recent one?

Researching:
Nothing much

think Freebmd only goes up to 1984 - used to be able to do a simple search for a surname in a county with mmn 20 year span, haven't worked out how to get the county bit on the new layout. Apart from that, the type face is much clearer I think.

Researching:
etches ashbourne, morgans and hodges

i can't see a way of limiting to a county if you have used the 'optional keyword' section for the mmn, :-S

Eric - they've gone. A pity, as they were quite useful for more recent entries that aren't yet on FreeBMD.

I had only just sorted out where I was supposed to post what...now,I havent a clue!

when looking for marriage,theres a box saying Births,next to this is a box for date...is this the birth date of the person whose marriage you wanted,or what? So confused...what happened to "if it aint broke,dont fix it"?
I realize we have to keep up with the times,but this is all well and good if you are younger,and computer literate! I'm neither,and it's hard adjusting to changes.
Could we not have an option where we can use the old way,please?

Perhaps the poster means that if you send her a personal message she will arrange with Genes to have your version of the site changed to meet your individual preference eg. the navigation bar on the left moved to the right, and those links which do not apply to you removed (Genes Extras only apply in UK).

I believe that when you have the results from the initial search ... As described by Rose .... If you look again at the search button area, you will see or use "advance search " .. Click on that and the county box opens ....

Thank you StoneWall ...

Sounds a bit like the time warp to me...

It's just a jump to the left.

And then a step to the right.


Not to sure about the pelvic thrust bit... I am liable to wobble all over my computer and crash.

I can't get Penguin books but no worries we have the real fair dinkum penguins here.

But we don't let them drink wine...they have enough trouble standing up as it is.

I think the OP is saying that she put a thread on General but sent a message to the GR team asking them to change the thread over to Genealogy.
