    3. I emailed the on 2-12-2005 to tell them that the 1920 Butler County Census for Hamilton districts 29 and 30 were Brown County records and not Butler. They still have not corrected that. -----Original Message----- From: JMINI22977@aol.com [mailto:JMINI22977@aol.com] Sent: Friday, July 28, 2006 2:22 PM To: OHBUTLER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [OHBUTLER-L] Ancestry.com changes Hi Listers, I see no change on Ancestry.com. I have been a member for about 10 years. You can contact Ancestry.com online or call on the 800 #. I agree about searches. You can still search and find what you want but they give too many option s. You can search through 3000 names and find nothing. I do see they are trying to get more of your information for free and then they can burn it to a CD and get people to buy it. After buying a few of their CD's I quit. The information on the CD's is not complete and is only partial. But without Ancestry.com I would not have found my relatives. So am very thankful. One more thing I have sent them a complaint about a missing census image from 1880, twice and they still have not corrected it. So weigh the good and the bad and let them know. Take care, Judy Minihan ==== OHBUTLER Mailing List ==== Butler County American History & Genealogy Project http://www.usgennet.org/usa/oh/county/butler

    3. Message I recieved from Ancestry.com Dear Laura, We appreciate your message. Thank you for your submission. In our continued efforts to provide an improved experience for our users, we have created an online error reporting system, called Customer Contributed Content. When you are viewing the record for a specific individual where this feature is available, you will see a "Comments and Corrections" link located in the right PAGE TOOLS column. (PLEASE NOTE: This is not available on any page where an image appears, but rather on the index for the individual whose image you may be viewing.) Please use this feature to submit this suggestion and any future corrections. The information included below indicates how this feature is used. NAME CORRECTIONS You can provide corrections or additions for a record, such as for transcription errors, birth or maiden names (e.g., if a known name change has occurred), nicknames (to increase search options that will locate this record), name variations (if these occur for records), incorrect originals (i.e., the original record is incorrect). To indicate this information: 1. Click on the "Comments and Corrections" link from the individual's record page 2. Click the "Add an Alternate Name" link on the next page 3. Enter information in the Given Name and Surname fields 4. For the Reason, indicate any of those previously indicated 5. Provide a brief but helpful Explanation of the information you enter 6. Click the Submit Correction button USER COMMENTS General comments you wish to indicate can be included here. These comments should adhere to the standard Message Board format. For example, you might include comments that "The rest of this family is found under the surname Smythe, though this individual's name is spelled correctly (Smith)." To add a User Comment, please do the following: 1. Click on the "Comments and Corrections" link from the individual's record page 2. Click the "Add a Comment" link on the next page 3. Fill in the Subject field with a brief description, such as "Other Family of John Smith in SSDI" 4. Fill in the Comment field with information you wish to include as your comment 5. Fill in the Source field if you have a reference that verifies the information you provide 6. You can indicate your Comment Type as Additional Detail, Contradiction, Question, or Link 7. Click the Post Comment button REPORT AN ERROR While some of the above submissions may be classified as errors, those issues you find that cannot be submitted with the above two options (such as an unreadable image, linking to an incorrect image, a page is missing, etc.) should be submitted via this third choice. Following are steps to submit this type of report: 1. Click on the "Comments and Corrections" link from the individual's record page 2. Click the "Report an Error" link on the next page 3. Choose the appropriate issue from the "Problem type" drop-down menu 4. Enter information in the "Description" box that better specifies the steps you took to duplicate this error, the text of any error message you may have received, etc. 5. Click the orange Submit button to post your error report Please note that a new window is typically created when submitting either a User Comment or an Error Report. In both of these cases, you will want to make sure you do not have software running that blocks pop-up windows. Otherwise, the appropriate form may not appear for you to enter information for submission. Additionally, please understand that fixes to errors on Ancestry.com are posted firstly in the order of those which affect the greatest number of users, and thereafter in the order in which they are reported. For this reason, fixes for some errors may take longer than others to be posted. We appreciate your patience. If there is anything else with which we might assist you, please let us know.
