Dear Family History Society, Your members will be pleased to learn that the Australian Cemeteries Index website http://austcemindex.com , which now has over 1.7M headstone inscriptions online, has a NSW BDM search facility that actually works properly. As with all of the website it is totally free to use. Benefits include: - Over 1M records have been cleansed to correct errors etc. - Random comments in the father and mother fields have been moved to their own fields - District has been added to many records that previously had the death location in the father or mother fields and no district - Pre-1856 registration numbers have not changed - Search screen is easy to use - Partial values (eg. Joh Smit) can be entered without any * on the end - Applicable search values are preserved when swapping from births to deaths etc - Year range search is simple and intuitive - Output displays 100 lines per page instead of 10 - Searches are up to twice as fast as the BDM website - Searches do not crash on a regular basis - As with the BDM website the output can be sorted on any field by clicking on the column heading. Click twice to reverse sort order. - Clicking on a surname in the Deaths output will automatically search for any matching headstone inscription record - A link is provided for reporting errors, which are generally fixed within 24 hours The search is available via the menu on the left of each page or can be accessed directly via http://austcemindex.com/bdmsch.php If you believe the facility will be of use to your members please feel free to circulate this information. Any feedback or suggestions can be provided via the Contact link on our website. Kind regards Peter Olsen Editor, Australian Cemeteries Index http://austcemindex.com http://www.cemeteryphotos.com.au
