To Syndicate Co-ordinators One of my functions is to keep the Syndicate Allocation Web Pages at: http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/cgi/bmd-synd.pl up to date as I allocate slots to Syndicates. Because of the piecemeal way in which I have had to allocate slots there's a possibility that not all allocations have been added correctly to the database. I've taken a snapshot of the current information shown on the database and reproduced on my Web Site at: http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/FreeBMD_Maintain_Ranges.htm The update to the above Page takes into account allocations to existing Syndicates since 29 April 2004 Syndicate Co-ordinators may wish to check the information relating to their Syndicate on the above Web page and only let me know if there are any errors/omissions? In answer to two standard type queries. 1. I'm aware that some of the allocations shown in the snapshots are unable to be worked on due the absence of scans. There's no requirement to draw my attention to lack of scans in these cirumstances. 2. The "Statistics for Syndicate" Web Page for each Syndicate is in fact derived from and fully dependent on me keeping the FreeBMD_Maintain_Ranges up to date. The "Statistics for Syndicate" Pages however shows the position prior to the last database update even though I may have updated the FreeBMD_Maintain_Ranges in the intervening period. The "Statistics for Syndicate" Web Pages for Syndicates can be accessed at: http://www.btinternet.com/~allan_raymond/Stats_for_Syndicates.htm This page provides details of the Co-ordinator(s), volunteers and the Syndicate Allocations (shown under Range Statistics). A typical example of the Range Statistics is below. Range Statistics The counts and range definitions reported below correspond to the data as at 2004-04-17 18:11:10 when the database was updated Type Quarter Year Sub-range Records by Synd Total In Range Marriages Sep 1907 All 143362 144119 etc etc TOTAL 244638 246710 You may wish to note the number of records shown under "Total In Range" doesn't mean this is the total number of records in the Index. It actually refers to the number of records uploaded by volunteers including those by the Syndicate members and those not part of the Syndicate (generally one name studies or second keying). *** Also please take into account the information relates to the situation pre the last database update. *** If anybody requires further clarity please let me know?

You may wish to note the number of records shown under "Total In Range" doesn't mean this is the total number of records in the Index. It actually refers to the number of records uploaded by volunteers including those by the Syndicate members and those not part of the Syndicate (generally one name studies or second keying). If anybody requires further clarity please let me know? As the info shown is always specific to a particular syndicate what is the point in having this "Total In Range" column? It carries no information needed by a syndicate and serves to cause confusion therby requiring clarification. Do away with it.
