    3. Hello Nivard I agree that some of the enumerated details are difficult to read but the transcribers/checkers for FreeCEN sometimes need a medal for their work. The name is transcribed as WALKER on FreeCEN. We are still recruiting helpers if anyone is interested in helping to bring the Census on line for free.

Hi Jan What happened there is what has happened on many thousands of occasions A human got involved <vbg> In this case the schedule was transcribed by persons unknown and they read the name as WALTER which if you look at the page is actually not surprising as that is what it looks like Transcribers do not know every name they come across and have to make a judgment call as to what it might be If you *know* the name is WALKER that is what you might read it as but without prior knowledge the transcriber enters what he things it says The correction I have entered will show up in the searchable index in about a fortnight Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > Fantastic??!! What do you think happened there ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ENG-LINCSGEN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
