Global Village News
I have just completed a large update to the Birth, Death and Marriage Indexes - lots more names added! If you haven't visited it before stop by now.

Thanks to Vicky and Jan we now have an exchange for the Benelux region at:
http://www.eskimo.com/~chance/misc/beneluxIf everybody who is subscribed to the Global Village list submits information about just one certificate they have at home that would increase the size of the BDM dramatically - this is an easy way to do something for IIGS™ and your fellow genealogists on the Internet.
Another way you could help to build this index is by telling the people on other mailing lists you subscribe to. Take a look at the index, see if it has names that match the surname lists you subscribe to and then tell that list what you found and how they can all help too!
Want more involvement? Adopt a country and build an exchange for it. Interested? let me know!!
