Postem's on FreeBMD

Thanks Rosie

I have only just started doing this and it's so quick and easy I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.  I hope my contribution saves someone the price of a certificate.

Can someone pardon my ignorance please  and explain Postem's?

When you get a cert from the GRO, you can help other people by putting some of the detail (parents' names, etc) on the FreeBMD site beside the index of the cert

when you go to the FreeBMD site, and find an index entry, there's a little box called "info" beside it.
When you click on this box, you have the option to "add a postem" i.e. add some information.

when you do this, a little envelope appears beside the index entry

Thank you for explaining that eadaoin - what a good idea; will ensure I do that.

Happy New Year!

Hi All,

Just thought I'd add that I have found my first postem from a freebmd search!! It was for a marriage & gave exact date, place of marriage, father's names, witnessess etc....

Keep adding your postems!!

Glad they have been some help.  I still put all mine on whether they belong to my family or not.  If everyone did it, it would save people a lot of money.

Just added another two postems!

It is good to hear someone has benefited from them.  I have added 3 this week following a spending spree at the GRO.  Hopefully they will save someone else spending £9.25 on them.

I'd be dead keen to join you all as I'd never thought of that use of the postem. But .  .  . don't you think you might be creating something of a headache for FreeBMD? I say this in the light of the thread entitled "Disappointed" that ran today.
