About us

My BDM Certificates is a web site dedicated to the genealogy community. Its goal is to provide creative and cost effective answers to genealogical problems. Our Certificates Ordering Service was the first web-site offered in a range of My BDM Certificates services  launched.   In the 11 years of service we have supplied thousands of genealogy documents including certificates, transcripts and photocopies to our valued clients. We have clients all over the world, about a third each to UK, USA/Canada and Australia/NZ.  Most clients return to My BDM Certificates for further research again and again.  Through My BDM Certificates sources we can offer faster service than most UK based agents.
