Searches selected people for chosen BMD Records and produces a web page to invoke searches of online websites for any missing records.
It offers BMD Records for England, Scotland, Wales, British Isles, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Worldwide.
Supports Ancestry, FindMyPast, FamilySearch, MyHeritage, and FindAGrave online research websites.
Estimated BMD dates are used, where none are recorded. Women’s married names are used where the event is after the marriage date (or after the birth of the first child).
See the Help & Advice for details.
For further support please post in the Family Historian User Group forums or Family Historian at Groups.io email where the plugin author will answer your questions which can be supplemented with screenshots if necessary.

for some reason, the web page width is too wide for the 16″ laptop screen, and doesn’t include a slider bar on the bottom to see the rest of it on the right. the same with the next one that has a web site…
I am surprised it is too wide unless you have set a rather large font in your browser.
It tries to automatically adapt the width of the columns to fit in as much as possible on narrow screens.
Do you need the lookup columns for all of Ancestry, Findmypast, Family Search, My Heritage, and Find A Grave?
If not then disable the ones not required in the initial plugin dialogue options to reduce the width.
I’m not sure what you mean by “the same with the next one that has a web site…”
