It has been requested that you move any discussion to the discuss list, and I for one am now getting a little fed up with it all. Both Dave and Graham have assured us that it is all above board, and the whole management team has also issued a statement confirming this. I trust this team impeccably having worked with them for a long time, so I accept what they and trust that they will keep an eye on the situation. Now can we all get back to transcribing please. Sheelagh ----- Whilst I fully agree with Sheelagh Hawkins comments regarding the Free access to our records at Ancestry, I am very concerned over, what I consider, the much more disturbing problem of searches returning incorrect district names. I have checked the site personally and have had 'Ware, Hertfordshire' returned as 'Wareham, Hertfordshire'. From previous messages this appears to be quite a regular occurence. Do you not consider that we should be asking Ancestry to suspend their use of our data until such time as they can guarantee to have resolved the problem. We all know that there are enough errors already built into the index, which we can do nothing about, without adding to them. This can only reflect badly on us as the transcribers because people searching the index at Ancestry will either assume that it is our bad transcription - if they realise the error - or spend time and money trying to obtain certificates from non-existent records. I do feel that we need to take action to protect our reputations. Regards Mervyn Wright --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
