FreeBMD is a UK-based charitable organisation founded in 1998, and established as charity in 2003 to create a free transcription of the indexes to Births, Marriages and Deaths (BMD) for England and Wales from 1837 to 1983. It also provides on-line access to images of the pages of the BMD indexes. ==History== FreeBMD was founded in 1998 by Ben Laurie, Graham Hart and Camilla Von Massenbach, with the intention of creating a searchable version of the General Register Office indexes of England and Wales. The three founders were joined in 1999 by Dave Mayall, and in 2010 by Allan Raymond. The project became a registered charity in 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=FreeBMD Trust Deed )〕 In 2005, FreeBMD absorbed the formerly separate, but closely allied, projects FreeCEN and FreeREG, bringing all three projects under a single trustee body, while retaining autonomous day-to-day management. , FreeBMD has transcribed over 243 million distinct records, which represents the overwhelming majority of births, marriages and deaths registered in England and Wales from 1837 to 1965. In 2013 Darren Wright was appointed executive director, in succession to Nick Barratt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「FreeBMD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
