    1. Re: [NFK] Census on Findmypast - corrections
    2. As I have been told so many times when grumbling -the golden rule of transcribers is to transcribe what they see...but wouldn't it be nice on commercial sites if for place names their "seeing" was aided by the list of actual place names. A transcriber looking at iffy handwriting and thinking ...haM could see they were mistaken if they had looked at a list of Norfolk villages. Since we pay for FindMyPast and Ancestry it would be nice if they did at the very least include a transcriber corrected alternative in the index/search. Other transcriptions made by dedicated volunteers are beyond reproach in my opinion, such is my gratitude. As for making corrections awkward-I gave up adding a reason for correcting Ancestry because I was too tempted to put " it just is!" Just found a Blaxter for Thaxter on the GRO birth index-GRO mistake.
