    Article on this service in the Indo which has the following quote:

    "According to 28-year-old Henry, the service focuses on parish and baptismal records rather than birth certs, many of which, from certain periods, no longer exist."

    I may be a pedant, but this statement is at best misleading and at worst: wrong. It suggests that birth certs have been "lost" in some way, which is of course not true.:(
