FreeBMD Conference 2018: 20 Years of FreeBMD

Did you miss the FreeBMD conference? You can watch it on YouTube here.

FreeBMD is one of the first ever crowdsourcing projects, and 2018 marks 20 years since its inception. It has been extraordinarily useful to researchers since 1998 and is highly regarded in the Genealogy community. We invite you to join us in raising a glass to our oldest project, at our free-to-attend FreeBMD Conference this September.
