A version of this page was briefly live yesterday which has been withdrawn and the previous version dated 15th March has been reinstated. An explanation was given to the FreeBMD-syndicates list. Note that files that have been corrected since the date that the report was produced will still be listed, though the links to them will now show the corrected versions. The date is shown in the fourth paragraph of the introduction, above the main list of files. It appears that some people have problems with opening large web pages like this one if using Internet Explorer. However they seem to open without problem on Google Chrome and Firefox. This particular report, aimed initially at syndicate co-ordinators, has been produced to attempt to identify transcriptions in which there are 'alternate spouse' or 'alternate mother name' entries, but which have not been transcribed according to the guidance in Transcribers' Knowledge Base (TKB) question 6(u). http://www.freebmd.org.uk/vol_faq.html#6u #COMMENT(2) Entry reads Alpha or Beta for spouse surname is the way this sort of situation should be reported in Marriage files, but some in some files transcribers have been leaving out the (2), and it is possible that some transcribers have done so on a regular basis.

Jeff - I notice you use the term "spouse surname" in this e-mail.. TKB at...6(u) uses the term "spouse name". If we are to rigidly follow 6(u) is this matter, is it OK if I say "spouse name" and another transcriber says "spouse surname"? Would this latter term make a file suspect? I ask this question in all sincerity. As I said when I first raised this matter, it is not an attempt to nitpick.
