    1. FAO Administrators. A humble suggestion

    3. Dear Administrators, I feel a bit of a traitor writing this Email, but I fancy that other transcribers are having the same thought. Now that we know what CAN be read on the original index after seeing Ancestry's scans/photographs, it is going to be hard to work from the FreeBMD scans. We shall all know that Ancestry subscribers will be able to read things that are illegible to us. What fools we will all look! AND it will undermine the user's confidence in FreeBMD. May I suggest, most humbly, that the administrators negotiate with Ancestry to use their images. FreeBMD could provide the army of willing volunteers. I'm sure that all of the transcribers would be more than happy with that arrangement. Again I cringe and apologise for this interference, but I feel driven to suggest it.
