My last words on an interesting topic... Much as I grumble about errors, I use Ancestry.com constantly, have a monthly subscription that I continue to renew, and I rather enjoy the challenge of finding people that are 'hiding' due to mistranscriptions! I would not have a third of the 19th century detail I've got without them. My message was largely that I didn't think Frank was being derogatory toward Harold or other volunteer transcribers :-) Val. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet" <wightway@tiscali.co.uk> To: "Hardy Plants" <farm@kintaline.co.uk>; <sct-argyll@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, May 04, 2009 12:43 AM Subject: Re: [ARGYLL] Transcription errors.
