Sorry, my query of yesterday is no longer valid; I think it was covered only three months ago, with the help of Barrie, and doesn't need further correspondence! Richard Oliver Madrid, Spain richol@arrakis.es ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Oliver To: freebmd-syndicates@rootsweb.com Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 12:57 PM Subject: "Suspect" file I don't know whom to contact, so please excuse my posting this query on the list. One of my team is most indignant that I pointed out his having produced a 'suspect' file that has appeared following the latest update. The file is numbered 1839D2U0776 and the corresponding scan image is at GUS/1839/Deaths/June/UKD-01/P-Z/1839D2-P-Z-0776.tif. It transpires that this page consists of a list of 40 "Unknown" male corpses, and it would appear to belong to a different Quarter and/or Year - which would explain why over half the page numbers are out-of-range. A cursory check suggests the scan should be reassigned to 1839 September Deaths, where the page ranges fit much better. Richard Oliver Madrid, Spain richol@arrakis.es

Yes, we've sort it out! However, I think it is worth commenting on the 'most indignant' issue. Please would coordinators try to convey to transcribers that listings like SuspectFiles are there to help improve quality not to judge their transcriptions. The transcription in question is a good example. It is a correct transcription but SuspectFiles enables us to find anomalies like mis-bound pages.
