DAVID BROUGHTON'S WEB SITE

BMD Project

A project to get a searchable database on the Internet of all Births, Marriages and Deaths on the Isle of Wight from 1837 to 2002. This involves a lot of voluntary work by members of the Isle of Wight Family History Society to transcribe hand-written records from the official registers held by the county registrar. This may be done only on the registrar's premises so we use a lap top computer and transfer all the data home to process and upload to the web site of the IOWFHS.
Progress to date Up to 2008-01-20. All births, marriages and deaths are now complete from 1837 to 2002. We are having difficulty getting more data from the Isle of Wight Council for 2003 to 2007. The data so far on the web site is currently being checked for accuracy by volunteers. See the Family History site for the current status.
