	What I'm saying is that the FreeBMD data transcribed to date has large gaps, eg very few births transcribed in the 1880s. The registrations exist but have not yet been transcribed. Go to http://freebmd(.)rootsweb(.)com and click on the link just above the red "Information" button to see the progress graphs.
