Am i going mad

[Gwen@coggiecorner]

This may seem like a daft question but I want to search the Birth index for 1915 and cannot seem to find it in Ancestry. I've been through the list and can only see FreeBMD am I going mad has there been a change and I've not noticed!!!!!

Gwen, they've split the birth index in two - the FreeBMD part and the part that ancestry has indexed. They don't have the full page images easily available like they did before because they are supposed to have the whole birth index fully indexed now, but of course there are some mistakes and some entries missing. What I usually do is search for a similar name in the same quarter that I'm looking for and then click to view the page image.

Thanks for that as I have not looked in birth indexes for ages so not noticed. I did look in Free BMD but could not find what I wanted. But will have to try again. How daft though on some occasions I do want to look in the index!!
