I can read my rellies handwriting, no problem with that. As clear as clear. It's the paid for transcriptions I am having problems with at the first instance. They're not the same as wot's on the paid for view page. It's a bit like writing out a cheque and putting two different accounts on your cheque tab and on the real cheque itself. Make sense? 8-) Nevertheless, let's not lose our sense of proportion, eh. Cheers Graham Melbourne Oz

I have had the same frustration with McLoughlin that is indexed and transcribed as Loughlin and the Mc is a second forename !! Luckily I knew exactly where they should have been in 1911 as my father was born just after the census date. The householder's schedule was perfectly clear. I have another frustrating one that in the address box was "copied over" thus no address. I fail to understand why they have not included the regular ennumerator's book as before so that one can see others on the page where often rellies appear..the Irish have done it so it is not difficult. These irritating errors are making it a very user unfriendly project and very expensive..guess I will wait until it is released via ancestry..though they will have indexing issues. This project was handled by the people behind scotlandspeople site which rarely suffers from transcription errors so what went wrong with 1911.....too tight a budget and a rush to cash in on the demand for it. With scotlandspeople when one reports an error they credit the wasted credits and are always gratefull for the notification and do amend the indexing..but i pointed out my McLoughlin error and they did not even reply to my email so they are just not interested in anything apart from making a lot of money. Also at the moment wild card searching is off as they are worried about server loads..at their prices they could by several cellars full of the latest servers.. I guess that people will eventually be so put off that they will just wait until it is included in a site where they have a subscription and can search at leisure. I have used it purely for a few key lines that i need to bridge or need a marriage partner's age and place of birth. -------- Original Message -------- > I can read my rellies handwriting, no problem with that.

Just go to the "My records" tab at the top of the page and there is a list of everything you've already looked at. Just click on the relevant record and make yor report.
