    3. The latest update shows an increase of 1,197,015 in the number of unique records. There are 330,487 more Births. There are 4 years with increases over 20K: 1889 (90,239); 1890 (58,949); 1907 (36,702) and 1848 (21,382) There are 88,314 more Marriages. There are 2 years with increases over 15K: 1875 (23,799) and 1897 (19,441) There are 778,214 more Deaths. The big increases are for 1884 (279,126) and 1882 (195,133), but there are 7 other years with increases over 20K: 1881 (93,730); 1885 (51,478); 1858 (36,065); 1888 (34,278); 1857 (31,630); 1841 (24,335) and 1855 (23,153) There are also a number of years where the numbers have decreased significantly. The major one is 1875, which had 111,825 Deaths in the previous update and now has 56,255. Over 100 other years have lost hundreds of Deaths, and for the post 1902 years, this frequently means a reduction of over 50%. Happy searching/transcribing Peter Dauncey

    3. OK. I must be missing something here. Why would there be Decreases? Is it something to do with double-keying? -----Original Message----- From: Peter Dauncey [mailto:peter@dauncey54.freeserve.co.uk] Sent: 29 September 2003 09:01 To: FREEBMD-DISCUSS-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Latest update The latest update shows an increase of 1,197,015 in the number of unique records.
