FreeBMD - Images

In order to add to the service that we already provide to the genealogical
community, FreeBMD has today made its scanned images of the GRO index
(previously available only to transcribers) available to the general public.

Prior to this move, viewing the indexes was only possible at libraries or on
pay-per-view internet sites.

Whilst FreeBMD doesn't yet have a complete set of images, the nearly 700,000
images that we do have represent a good proportion of the indexes from 1837
to 1910, and we hope that people will find the facility useful.

The initial interface is sonmewhat crude, but further enhancements to this
new area of the site are planned, and we will announce them as they happen.
