  • FreeBMD corrections

    I have sent many corrections to FreeBMD which have eventually been accepted. Does anybody know if the Ancestry BMDs up to 1915, which originated from FreeBMD, are then updated somehow by FreeBMD?

    The only updating that occurs on Ancestry FreeBMD data is when Ancestry uploads fresh files from FreeBMD. So there can be a considerable timelag between submitting a correction, receiving the acknowledgement from FreeBMD, new data appearing on FreeBMD and new data appearing on Ancestry.

      I thought that might be the case and is why I usually search FreeBMD first as I have sent in over 50 corrections and I am only one person! It's probably safe to say that FreeBMD from 1837 to 1915 is more accurate at any one time than Ancestry. Thanks Uncle John for confirming my thoughts.
