I was wondering what firms like Fraser & Fraser do with all the hundreds and hundreds of BMD certificates they must purchase each year.

My company must have kept them, they never passed any on to me, would have been an invaluable help if they had. Roll Eyes

In an earlier programme it said that F&F microfilm all the certificates etc that they order - it makes them easier to store. (It also means they can refer to them in future should the need arise). It also said they provide information to any successful heirs of the family research that they have done - although whether this is proactive or reactive I don't know.

Thought I should let you know the are some new programs coming out starting next Monday 29th
Would have let you know sooner but we have been run off out feet as of late and we couldn't give as much time to the film crew so there are several firms involved this time. some who I had never heard of before!!  25 programs in total running for 5 weeks. There is even 1 story given to us by an heir hunter viewer who asked for our help.

I may have missed this but where do you find lists of people that are not recent?  I have been to

 http://www.bonavacantia.gov.uk/output/are-you-an-entitled-relative.aspx

but they seem only to have the very latest lists.   Where are the people who died say in the 70/80's?

That is my question too Abiam!  We have a lost great uncle in our tree and he is my 'brickwall'.  I know he was alive in 1954 but cannot get any more information on him.  Meanwhile my father got a solicitor's (?) letter in the 1980's about him which he thought a scam and put in the bin!  I know it would be a low value estate so not likely to be chased up by the heirhunters.  Just would like to know what became of him and tidy up the tree.
