Hi

I'm having no trouble getting onto the new facility. If you go to the page
that is headed England & Wales Birth Marriage & Death Indexes 1837-2005 and
scroll down to Complete Births 1984 to 2005 you will find, when you open up
to the search page, that its actually 1916-2005 and examples I've looked at
have been fine. What has disappeared at the moment are the Complete Births
up to 1915 but you should be able to access most of the images through the
FreeBMD part.

>> Hi all,
>> Ancestry.com have launched today indexed searches for births from 1916
>> to 2005. The headings have not been updated yet, so just follow the
>> links to the 1984-2005 category. This is a complete individuals search,
>> not just for GRO pages. The result of the search links to the image, so
>> that you can check the accuracy of the search. It is also possible to
