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

Hi Richard, This particular case was investigated by myself and Bob Phillips two or three years ago when it was possible to inspect the original books at the FRC. It appears to be due to a mis-assembly of the books at some time long ago. So the scans are in the 'correct' place. We did however add system entries so that the entries on scans 776, 777, 782 and 783 will appear when searching in the Sep 1839 quarter. The text at the top of the Suspect Files page says how you can get a compliant file such as your team member's removed from the list. I note that Croscan user Stargazer also has two files in a similar situation. best regards, Martin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Oliver" <richol@arrakis.es> To: <freebmd-syndicates@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2010 11:57 AM 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.
