Hello, I have noticed a few entries that are on the GRO Register which appear to have been missed by transcribers. How do I report these because as they are missing, there is no 'Info' button to press. David Howes

Hi David, Corrections to add missing entries can be submitted by locating another entry from the same page that has been trasncribed. Ideally the entry immediately before or after the missing entry and submitting a correction against this adjacent entry. Include in the correction the full details of the missing entry and in the source box on the correction form, start your information with the text "Missing entry" And we will see if we can get the entry added into the database for you. Hope that helps Kevin Howell FreebMD Corrections Coordinator -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Peter 'Pedro' Howes Sent: 14 February 2009 17:36 To: [email protected] Subject: Missing Entries Hello, I have noticed a few entries that are on the GRO Register which appear to have been missed by transcribers.

Make a correction to the preceding entry. The following appears on the correction page: If you have identified that an entry on a transcribed page has not been transcribed you should attach a correction to the immediately preceding entry (use a wildcard search to get surrounding entries) filling in the details of the missing entry. The Source field must contain the words "missing entry" in addition to indicating where you got the information from (e.g. a FreeBMD scan).

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/search-faq.html#missingentry explains that you do so by using the info button for the preceding entry. You find this link from the message on the right when you get search results: "Don't understand the results? Perhaps our Frequently Asked Questions could have the answer." There is a link on 'Frequently Asked Questions'. If you have specific examples and have difficulty reporting them by that method, get back to me off-list and I will try to help. This also applies if a complete page is missing in a quarter that appears to be over 95% complete.
