Dear Janet I leave the project management to explain the reasons behind having e-mail addresses available against uploaded records but........... The short answer is **no** you do not have to make 'corrections' just because somebody tells you their Grandmother always said her maiden name was JOINES and you have read JONES on your source. The whole idea is to reproduce the GRO index as it stands (warts and all). More helpfully, please, please, do not give up transcribing because of a couple of annoying e-mails. Anyone who receives these is welcome to forward them to me and I will reply - all I need is: a) the e-mail address of the enquirer (and preferably a copy of the message they sent you) b) an assurance that you have checked your source and stand by your original transcription. That can be two words and a comma - checked, fine. I will happily send a short (but polite) message to the enquirer explaining why we can't alter the uploaded transcription . I Can't promise not to try and sign these people up as a vounteers but there you go.......... Please contact me using my personal e-mail address and not the list - that could get very trying for all concerned :-) Best Wishes Virginia Gretton FreeBMD Volunteer Coordinator ____________________________________________________________________ I have received on a few occasions now, e-mails telling me I have wrongly entered information, and after going to the trouble of rechecking my files, it turns out they are correctly transcribed. Surely we haven't got to amend our entries, I thought the whole point was to use the Transcripts. Can't something to this effect be stressed on the Programme. Also, is it necessary for our e-mail address to be on view to all and sundry, as I am seriously considering stopping transcribing if this problem persists. >From a very disgruntled Janet
