Help:Bdm

"BDM" or "bdm" is a common abbreviation for "births, deaths, and marriages".

A major use of the term on this wiki is to create "/bdm subpages", which list all the people on Familypedia who had recorded birth, baptism, marriage(s), death, or burial at the place. One bdm subpage can be attached to any place page, using Bdm, though localities and counties (e.g. Devon/bdm) are usually enough. A bdm page for a whole country would often produce lists so long as to be of little use - e.g. Scotland/bdm - but for a country with little data it can be useful - e.g. Japan/bdm.
