G'day All One of my transcribers who isn't subbed to this List has asked that I send the following email for him. If anyone wants to contact him directly, his name is Harry Crowe [email protected] or I will pass any comments on to him that may come from this List. Cheers Teri --------------- To all Transcribers of 1862 Birth Scans, I recently complained to Administration about the Quality of the scans we are using, and advised that I was not willing to upload guesses as to what I think might be the correct details, suggesting that incorrect data should not be uploaded, and I got the following replies. What is your feeling about the quality of these scans and should they be rescanned before we progress any further A concerned Harry Crowe. Hi Harry I appreciate the problems and have already asked the rest of the team what are we going to do about it. Unfortunately I don't have the hands control on scanning and it would be far better if you could raise your concerns on our Discuss mailing list. This will enable other members of the team to offer their own comments and for other volunteers to contribute to any debate. Sorry if it appears I am ducking the issue, but the best response would be obtained via the Discuss list. Sorry I can't be of more help. Allan Raymond Hi, We are working on this with Ancestry at the moment to see if we can get any better rescans. We are liaising via the coordinators as we get any change but there is nothing yet to say. We are aware of it and it is on our list of things we are pushing for but recently we have had holidays,disk crashes, car crashes! etcetc... Talk to your coordinator about not submitting the information. Any information is better than no information. You are not necessarily misleading them . you are giving an interpretation which will be matched by someone else's interpretation of the same information. Anyone using the site should check back the original source anyway as a check. FreeBMD helps them to get there. Having said that, we do undertand the concern and we are looking into it...
