3. Smart Search
 Smart Search is a new feature on BMD indexes and utilises an intelligent search system to perform a reverse look-up on events from 1984 onwards. This means that when you have found a marriage you can perform a Reverse Lookup on the partner to find out their full details at the touch of a button. This also works for deaths and births allowing you to cross-reference births from a death certificate.

4. Updates
Our online databases are updated regularly — more records are now available and more will be soon. Click here for the latest news regarding new and forthcoming online records. |
5. Quality
We scan all our census images in-house and have quality checks
that ensure the highest possible quality even if it means scanning
the film several times. We scan in greyscale where required and
for 1841 we buy the highest quality silver microfilm, unlike our
competitors. In independent testing this was found to have 30% more
readable pages and improved the readability of all pages.
This test was carried out by David Tippey of Family History Monthly.

6. Accuracy - Local Knowledge Counts
We care about the quality of our indexes as much as you do, which is why we are the only company to use a team of UK volunteers to create, check and amend the data. We also license data from UK individuals and societies.
Many of our existing subscribers have praised the indexes for their accuracy (see Feedback). The volunteer indexers are family historians who have local knowledge of the areas they are indexing and local names. We are the only company using a team of UK volunteers to clean our data. |
7. Customer Support
Our online Help Wizard answers most questions and we are always on hand during office hours Monday to Friday to help with anything else. |
8. Experience

I am also the founder of TheGenealogist and S&N Genealogy Supplies.
