Hi Lesley I also noticed the oddity on the Soldiers that Died returns for Theatre of War The majority seem to state Aldershot with some British Expeditionary Force and a few others, I don't think its a transcript error, rather a database field selection error as far as I can see As I already had the Soldiers that Died for my people I had not until now thought to question where that (Aldershot) comes from, I have now mailed Ancestry for an explanation and will let you know what the outcome is As to transcript errors, I have found Ancestry no worse than any other supplier of online information such as findmypast or the genealogist etc, the difference I find is that with Ancestry you have a chance to find people with others you have little chance Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > I aquired an Ancestry sub as a birthday present and have been both > > amused and annoyed to see that their reputation for typos is well > deserved. > > One of the most annoying (indeed somewhat offensive) thus far has been > > the major mistake in their transcription of Soldier Who Died in the Great > War, > > where they show most men as having died in Aldershot rather than the > > actual battlefield or area. > > I'm using it, like the IGI and other transcriptions, to narrow > possibilities > > before checking the orig8inals on SP. > > > > Lesley Robertson
