Hi Admin I am a transcriber (jbh), when I upload my finished files do they go on to the system immediately (and can be seen by anyone searching) or do you gather the new records and update at one go during the month? if so approximately when does this occur. (interest only) Brian Hoggarth

They are combined into the main database about once a month. The last update was on 16th June. As the update takes several days to run, the files included are normally those already with FreeBMD about a week or ten days earlier. See http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/db-latest.shtml You can check that files you have sent to FreeBMD have arrived safely by going to http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/bmd-files.pl and using your submitter id and password. Your co-ordinator also has ways of checking what files you have sent in. Jeff
