Sign Up For Cheaper Birth, Marriage & Death Certificates

There is an e-petition to the UK Government asking them to release historic Birth, Marriage, and Death certificates for viewing online. At present the GRO in England and Wales can only issue certified legal copies of BMD certificates, and they cost around ten pounds sterling each. This petition asks for legislation to allow them to issue uncertified copies much more cheaply for historical research.

They need 100,000 signatures. You must be a UK citizen to add your name and it only takes a few moments.

Please pass this on to all your British genealogy friends.

Members' Interests Update

The Online Members' Interests Directory (OMID) was established about ten years ago as an online version of the Offline Computer Directory. The older system is now seldom used, so the Council has decided to phase it out. Click here   for more information.
