Hi Jean, The instructions state When completing the source field, please just tell us, in as few words as possible, where you found the information. Lengthy explanations, or worse still spirited advocacy supporting the correction are unhelpful. If you shorten your claimed source to something like FreeBMD Scan image the correction should be accepted. Kevin S. Howell FreeBMD Corrections Coordinator.
