How to Trace Your Family Tree without Spending the Family Fortune


Esther Rantzen has written an article that will be of interest to anyone
researching ancestors in England or Wales. She describes the services of the
General Register Office that is now available online on Directgov. Some
commercial companies charge as much as GBP30.00 for a birth certificate but each
certificate costs from just GBP7.00 if you order online via Directgov.
Public information about registering births, marriages and deaths in England and
Wales has moved from the GRO (General Register Office) website and is now
available on the government's supersite, Directgov, from 7 April 2009.
One statistic in this article that amazed me was "GRO online ordering service
currently receives up to 7,000 applications a day." No wonder they are moving
their services to the web. Can you imagine the manpower required to handle 7,000
applications per day?
