Hi everyone
I am putting this out to a number of lists so that everyone who has not yet
received their ordered copy of the NBI is fully aware of the situation.

.Firstly I re-iterate my statement on behalf of the Federation and its
publishing company that appeared on this list on 19th May
"NATIONAL BURIAL INDEX
If you've already placed an order which you haven't yet received, we
apologise for the delay. The NBI has proved even more popular than we had
anticipated and our FFHS Publications company have received almost 12,000
orders.
You'll be glad to know that they've taken on additional staff to cope with
the resultant backlog, and I trust that you'll receive your copy of the NBI
very soon. Please note that they will not have cashed your cheque or
debited your card payment until they have sent out your order.
Thanks again for being so patient."
UPDATE
This evening have been in contact with the Bob Boyd, the Managing Director
of Federation (Publications).
Primarily because of the high demand, the publications Company have been
out of stock for the past ten days. The latest batch were received into the
Federation Warehouse today. I am assured that all the addressing of labels
etc has already been completed and that all remaining orders should be
despatched by Wednesday next week at the latest. It is then hoped that
normal service will be resumed by the end of the week i.e new orders will
be despatched within 24 hours.

Once again I can only offer anyone who has not received their copy the
apologies of the Federation and its Publishing Company for the delay. The
product has been a lot more successful than anyone anticipated. The
Publications staff at Bury have been working all hours trying to meet the
outstanding orders. Please also remember that we are family historians who
have volunteered our efforts to give something back to a hobby we all
enjoy. There is always room for any individual who would also like to do
the same. For example currently the Federation executive is looking for
someone to take on the role of UK Liaison - if interested, please reply
privately off list.
