253510 2004-07-19 06:47:00 Does anyone know of a Births, Deaths & Marriages Free Site for Boston USA?. Similar to the FreeBDM of the UK?. Have tried Google & Jeeves to no avail. Thanks. PJ Poppa John (284)
253511 2004-07-19 08:20:00 Hello PJ. I think the only free one is LDS Family Search, but I guess you have already exhausted that one. You may have to go to
www.ci.boston.ma.us and pay up !

Cheers Tony

253513 2004-07-19 09:39:00 Hi PJ.Just registered with the General Register Office,England.Thanks for that FreeBMD site!Have found my Mother's grandparents and am trying to request a marriage cert,but can't seem to log in to the GRO.Perhaps I have to give them time to accept my registration details?
Just started using Legacy 5 Deluxe Family Tree instead of an older Family Tree Maker program,and love it.Well,looks like I'll try the GRo later!

253518 2004-07-19 20:39:00 Thanks Tony for that site,I'll have a read through tonight.PJ,I was thinking of the FreeBMD site,but I think Tony's given me a lead in for NZ.Have been communicating with a distant cousin,well not too distant when you see how the small communities back in the early 1900's in NZ married everyones brother or sister!!!And he's pointed out a few --am I allowed to say dark?--goings on.So have been altering the family tree lately,and need to find out who's who.

253519 2004-07-19 22:11:00 Neil. I haven't done a lot of research in NZ. As far as I know there is NO FreeBDM NZ. You can go to anytown BDM for a local cert, If the records are still there & have not been transferred to wellington. Some towns just sent the lot, lock stock & barrel. Some copied it all first. (Found this out in Thames). Wellington is the main depository for BDM, Auckland also has a coutry wide copy of everythiing. The library, if big enough, may have NZ microfiche records for NZ. As will LDS, local genio Society, maybe. Good luck with your hunt. PJ Poppa John (284)
