    3. Yesterday using the same technique I found my Mother's family, all now deceased, out of 5 family members listed ONLY my grandmother's name and birth year was transcribed correctly :- My mother's name shown the same as her sister, was correctly shown born 1928, her younger sister's name, correctly duplicated as above but date of birth shown as 1885 instead of 1935, her elder brother's birthdate shown as 1929 and should be 1922, and lastly my grandfather's surname spelt wrongly considering ALL the surnames were spelt the same. Fortunately I knew the town and county where my family were or supposed to be at the time Researchers will be having fun and games finding their respective families in the 1939. At least in this case the transcriber must have noted the "D" for deceased opposite the 3 siblings' listings otherwise they would have been "closed". Should FMP have the facility to accept and modify the database to correct mistakes, it would in itself be a massive undertaking to do so. Sorry to say it FMP but this will be the one and only image I will be paying for despite having renewed my subscription.
