Richard I assume it does help if the transcriber ID was known but a quick check reveals (assuming I have the correct individual from NZ) is a bonafide member of your Syndicate so I'll leave Barrie to advise why there is a problem in the system not recognising him as such. If you should go back to the transcriber can you please advise he has an error in his file 1938B3E0299? Elster,Yvonne A.,Elster or Taylor,Islington,1b,393 Alternative name (should be transcribed as two entries) with a suitable #COMMENT(2) line.

Actually I downloaded the page and then wasn't sure that it was all ok so I re-checked my original again and then replaced the file. It was then that the system questioned my authorisation. Did I miss out something in the download sequence or is my 'mucking about' confusing it?" As far as I know, this transcriber is a bonafide member of my Syndicate and his file is in order - so, are Barrie's latest refinements a bit too strict? Richard Oliver Madrid, Spain richol@arrakis.es
