Can  anyone help with  updates on Northwales BMD.?
I noticed  that the last update was July  2012 but the  records  are by no means  complete.  Are there problems?  It is such a valuable  resource.

I was involved in some of the early transcriptions and know that there were problems with gaining access to some of the original records. Also, it was often reliant upon  one or two dedicated people going around photgraphing/ copying records from each records office before they were transcribed in BMD format.  All work done by volunteers - predominantly Clwyd FHS members.

Someone else may know if this is still the case.
