Link: Family Relatives . org
« on: Thursday 23 December 04 09:35 GMT (UK) »
Does anyone know anything about this site ?
http://www.familyrelatives.org/

I saw an advertisement for it in 'Your Family Tree' magazine issue 20.

Just wondering if it is using FreeBMD data, or it's own transcriptions...

It *Must* be using a commercial transcription, because it refers to data after 1910.

I would suspect that after that date, the indexes are well-enough typed/printed to use OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to search, just like the searches on historicaldirectories.

They may not need to use human transcribers at all for later years.

It's about time they are online, They were supposed to be online in November !
They were also going to e-mail when they were on line but i've not heard a thing, It's not a good start really.

They weren't working yesterday then I got an email today saying the site had gone live. However, I've just tried to buy credits and that is not working either!!

If you are searching the years 1866 to 1920 then it is fully transcribed and full name searchable - unlike freebmd which is not complete and 1837 which allows you to search by a full name, but doesn't guarantee that they will be on the page.

Hi Amy.
I have to dissagree with you about the new site I have also been waiting for the email to say they were on line but still not recieved it.
But I went in today and yes they were on but I put 5 names and dates in that i knew were correct mine being one of them and it didnt bring any up so not a good start

well this morning it now lets you put all your details in to buy units  gets right to the end then says  declined after trying three different cards I gave up as i know it wasnt my cards
why has this site got up and running when it is not fully ready is beyond me  plus they dont have all the years they say
very dissapointing after waiting for the site to be running
