In the study of open clusters, the distinction between cluster and field members and the assignment of membership probabilities for each individual star in the relevant region are central issues. Here, we present an analysis based on the use of a fully automated method that relies on a hybrid heuristics, based on genetic algorithms and hill-climbing optimisation, as well as different probability distribution functions for the observables. We analysed the use of some variations for the parameterisation of those distribution functions. Finally, a catalogue comprising kinematic parameters and associated membership probability lists for all the open clusters in the Bordeaux PM2000 region was derived.
