Thanks Richard, I do use that site but have never really looked at what databases it contains so I didn't realise it had the NBI. In hat case I don't think I'll bother, I haven't found any burials on there so far so they probably won't be on the CD's either! Sam x

I think that you'll find that most, if not all, of the NBI is available online at www.familyhistoryonline.net . It's pay per view, but undoubtedly would work out cheaper than £50 (cost is about 8p per record viewed, and the search is free).

It's all down to coverage and luck!! Hubby and I have about 4000 people on our tree at home and how may burials have we found on the NBI2?? Guess.... Well...... One!! (and she was on version 1, anyway!!) Merry

Does anyone think the National Burial Index version 2 is worth buying? I have been onto the website and checked the coverage, the parts of Staffs that I am interested in seem well covered, however, I have seen posts on these boards saying that people have bought these discs and not found one single rellie. It is my birthday this week and I can ask for any pressie I want, my question is - would these CD's be worth the £50 odd quid they would cost? Just a general opinion will do - my other idea is BIVRI v2 which is cheaper! Thanks Sam x
