Someone is going to ask me this question in the next few hours, so can someone else please help me with a ready answer? My Syndicate has been busying away at 1938 March Births for 6-7 weeks, and we have collectively uploaded around 235 page files (35,000 records), around 23% of the Quarter. And yet the chart at http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/progressB.shtml#1930 suggests we haven't done a stroke of work, and shows zero. The chart itself must be out of sync, as a random check - on just a couple of records uploaded by me - shows they are indeed in the database. So how come a discrepancy like that?

The reason turns out to be that, for Births, we only have totals from the GRO up to 1937. For Marriages and Deaths we have the totals up to 1983. Since the graphs are percentages, not having the total makes it kinda difficult! I have no idea how we got the totals from the GRO but I will investigate.
