Joy, Re the website ..... Try this link http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/bdm_fh.html  then EVEN THOUGH "they" don't mention it, you need to click on the words "Start searching the Family History records" which then brings up the search engine

Ok well I'm sorry JM, but I cannot get past the page which comes up, as  you  say above, and where I am invited to complete details for a search. What  am I supposed to do to initiate the process"

The word search on the top right disappears as soon as I put in any information whatever so there is nothing to click to commence the search.

Meantime the old search screen has not been taken down and is working the way it always did. Thus-

 http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=marriages

I'm back to DOS for now.

FOUR births with reference no. 1/1820 of which two apparently are for same person so three different baptisms

Are you a MAC .... I don't know how to for them  ;D   But here's their pdf that they have uploaded today.... 

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/resources/Family-History-Help-Guide-23Jun14.pdf 

Sue, I use two screens for my real work, and my OH has given up on me doing any real work today .... Shhhhhhhhhh..... he is just as addicted to fh as me, but doesn't often admit it.... Anyways, the search button is in an obscure spot ..... scroll right across to far right and then to bottom of your screen,  you may be somewhere near it.

I dont like the new upgrade. Can it be called a upgrade   ::)

Suppose like all other changes made to different sites we will eventually get used to it once they iron any problems out  :-\

The "SEARCH" button is not seen on my screen either until I changed to 75% screen - and then you can see the button  ::)

This "upgrade" reminds me of the same thing they tried to do on FindMyPast

Surely someone these days knows how to write programming specs and actually test the darned thing  ??? ::)

We actually pay people to write garbage like this  :-X

I can view births and deaths okay.....but NOW will they have the correct reference number?

My problem are marriages......the partner's name/s are required.....isn't that often the reason for the SEARCH :'(
