    3. To Syndicate Co-ordinators I would like to give advance notification of a further enhancement to Suspect Report at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/SuspectFiles.html which will take effect from its next update on Wednesday 19 January. This is all part of our joint efforts to improve the quality of files uploaded to FreeBMD. The new enhancement reports as suspect those files which contain a high percentage of lines (i.e. records) in which the page is outside the range expected for the district. The percentage number of lines has been set quite high to reduce the quantity of files appearing in the Suspect Report. The percentage figure will be gradually reduced as soon as we gain confidence in the new enhancement. I tested out a sample of seven files using the Page Range criteria and all were shown to have incorrect event, year or quarter in the header details. I would suggest that Co-ordinators wait until the next update to the Suspect Report before offering comment on the new enhancement. Regards Allan Raymond
