Need help ordering copies of BMD's certs from family search - anyone ordered from them?
I have the names and film numbers of the certificates I need.
I have registered with them and they have my details.
When I wrote to them asking for help, they sent an email on how to order - my son, d.i.l. and myself do not understand what their instructions for ordering are.
Would love to hear from anyone who has succeeded.
Many thanks, Gina

Are they post 1837? If so you can get them from the GRO which would be easier

FMP has overseas births of British subjects......with the GRO refs

I wasn't aware that the LDS had access to certs.........I thought their films were merely copies of the indices........live and learn, I guess

From GRO website:

Q1. What certificates can I order online?
You can order certificates online for birth, death, marriage, civil partnership and adoption events registered in England and Wales and for certain British Nationals, who were born, married, formed a civil partnership or died overseas.

In your initial message you state that:-
"they sent an email on how to order - my son, d.i.l. and myself do not understand what their instructions for ordering are."

I suggest that you cut&paste those instuctions onto this thead. Perhaps one of us might understand what those instuctions are.

I didn't know they did individual images. I thought the proceedure was that you rented a film thru your local FS centre, they phoned you when the film arrived, and you then went into the centre and viewed it there as often as you wanted in the 6 wks or whatever they held the film for. Usually, there is a facility at the centre that will let you print images for a pretty nominal charge.
You should check all this with your local centre.

You can now order up to five images per month.
