The FreeBMD database was updated on 29 December to contain 294,843,900 unique entries. Years with more than 10,000 additions are: births (1993-96); marriages (1995-96); and deaths (1991, 1994, 1996-97).
Thanks to the nearly 2,000 volunteers who have contributed to FreeBMD over the past year for continuing to add entries. Find out who’s behind the scenes and more in the FAQ. Thanks also for the new website with improved capabilities at https://www.freebmd2.org.uk/
