I expect there are loads of people who know nothing about it, Phoenix!
I also wish I could remember the interesting certs I have wanted over the last year or two!

I've just received 4 of 5 of my first order with the second set probably now due tomorrow (well, they were originally due 22nd (first batch) and 23rd (second batch)).
Needless to say, the most interesting of the first batch is the one they didn't send!

Received the last of the original batch and all but one of the second batch today.
The interesting one wasn't very - the coroner decided the cause of death was 'visitation of God', so not foul play, but not very conclusive!

I'm getting a refund for one pdf. This is part of the email they sent me:

That's interesting Merry as one of the reasons for abandoning the DOVE project was that the equipment being used could not cope with many of the records - misaligned, curved pages, indistinct writing and so on. Reassuring to know they were telling the truth about at least one record!

We aim to deliver within 3 hours Each premium PDF costs £45, and is available for the following England and Wales records held by GRO: Births, Marriages and Deaths: 1837 on Civil Partnerships: 2005 on Full details are in 'About the PDF Pilot' page Phase 2 closes on 8 February or when 15,000 PDFs have been ordered, whichever is sooner. Details of Phase 3 (PDFs of non-digitised records) will be announced shortly. |

Might be useful for heir hunters I suppose!

I wouldn't pay £45 for a pdf but the heir hunter companies would probably do so.
