This FREEBMD project has been going since 1998 and currently has 220,610,785 records. All records are transcribed by Volunteers using specialy designed Data Entry Tools and Strict Data Entry RULES. There is now a FreeCEN (Census data) and FreeREG (Parish Registers)Project which is in its relatively early stages. I personally have transcribed nearly 30,000 in 5 years. Why not add your contribution to this project?
