England and Wales onlne civil civil registration project has failed

Ancestry hunters stuck in past as web project fails | Technology | The Guardian

Genealogists reacted with anger yesterday after it emerged that a government website, which promised direct access to 171 years of family records, had been delayed indefinitely following the failure of a Whitehall computer project.

An attempt to scan, index and digitise 250m records of births, marriages and deaths in England and Wales from 1837 to the present day was supposed to result in a new public website that would let people trace their ancestors at the touch of a button next February. Now, three years after the government awarded the £16m contract to German computer giant Siemens, the deal has been terminated with only half the work done.

It was hoped that the online record would slash costs and speed up the process of tracing ancestry. The collapse means family tree enthusiasts must continue asking for copies of documents by post, which can take seven days and costs £7 or £10 a time.

The failure drew strong criticism from genealogists who were already dismayed that last October the government removed access to paper ledgers that contained indexes of births marriages and deaths at the family records centre in London when it decided to launch the website.

The General Register Office (GRO), which is responsible for the records, said only 130m had been scanned, and plans to make the index public had been shelved. Missing are details of birth records from 1837 to 1934 and death records from 1837 to 1957. The Identity and Passport Service (IPS), which runs the GRO, said it had only paid half the fee as a result.

Yesterday, the IPS were unable to say when the project would be completed and how it would pay for the rest of it.

good advice from my email:-

Hello from Ohio, USA. I stumbled onto your blog a few weeks ago, and I want to thank you for sharing your wealth of personal knowledge with us the pitifuls. Additionally, I want you to know that I've been having a great time studying new this's and that's.

I've been working on my paternal ancestry for a year or so, but my tree is a real lulu. -Shamefully lean around her middle. But, I'm quite happy dancing on dead heels, I'll run into the lot of them somewhere on the road. It's difficult for me to stick with one particular family because there is so much to learn. Social studies, geography, wars, (etc.). -The battles, the glorious bloody battles. Raised by great patriots, I am ashamed to tell you how much I didn't know about my beloved country, likewise your England. Ah, well, there we are then; let's not give me up on that one.

I'm presently emailing with distant cousins, location England, Australia, Canada. Initially shocked, now having a good time of it. Oh, I have made more than one "genealogical faux pau," but I'm learning:
1. Don't share family scoundrels stories.
2. Don't enhance emailed photos.
3. Don't share photos of self, women are women universally.
4. Don't chat personably with men; again, women are women.
5. Don't write "thank God to discover I am English, all this time thinking I was Welsh."
Well, that's it then. Thanks again, I'll visit via your sites. Best regards
