re: Message: 2 > Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2008 15:43:33 -0400 Please, have others found that submissions re corrections to IGI records do in fact appear as extra entries? (Several years ago I supplied data {including civil registration number and registration district name} in writing [re amending a placename which does not exist in Australia regarding an event alleged to have occurred in one Australian state when it occurred in another] to a CJCLDS 'family history library' in Australia to forward on to IGI headquarters; but the correct data still does not display, while the erroneous data [which has no parish register or civil registration basis] remains on display) Winifred Johns ----- Original Message ----- From: <eng-manchester-request@rootsweb.com> To: <eng-manchester@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 04, 2008 5:04 PM Subject: ENG-MANCHESTER Digest, Vol 3, Issue 154 > > > Be sure mail to the list is in plain text.
