This is just a query that I can't work out regarding the previous messages. What happens when these scans are second keyed? The second keyer will be looking at a different image (the one on the FreeBMD site).

I print out my transcription ( takes about 7 pages) then take it to the Family History centre, check my entries with with their film or fiche, correct what I need to then go home and make the appropriate corrections. No problem with copyright laws, just take up a little of your time. I usually manage to check 3 or 4 flies in a 2 hour session at the FHC. Hope thie helps.
