The BMD Indexing Project was initiated in April 2003 with the objective of transcribing all the Index entries for Births, Marriages and Deaths from the Registers held by the Superintendent Registrar of the Isle of Wight.
This covered the period from the start of Civil Registration in 1837 to date.
The original database definitions and programming work for the website was done by David and Dina Broughton
Over the years, there have been a number of dedicated Volunteers who have worked to transcribe and validate the registers. This page acknowledges their contributions.
We would also like to thank the three Superintendent Registrars in office during the project, and their staff, for their support in enabling us to create the Index from the original Registers (in accordance with General Register Office regulations).
Regrettably, some volunteers have since died and these are remembered for their contributions. Volunteers marked * have been with the project since inception, so many thanks for their 8 years' (and more in some cases) dedication !
