The US is a big place  Unlike the UK we do not keep BMD civil records at a national level so no there is no centralized databases of BMD's.  But yes there are loads of databases out there...and yes some that are free.....just no standardization of years of coverage, information contained within, or how best to access them!!!  Basically if you have an idea of what area of the country or ideally which state you need info from then start at that level.  I have a whole list of resources...toss out your query and I'll answer with a specific source if I know of one. Doesn't hurt to rummage around in the GenWeb for help either.... http://www.usgenweb.org/

Best wishes
Jean

www.deathindexes.com has pretty thorough listings of what's available online by state/county, although not all the databases that they link to are free.
