I understood Wayne's comment as a criticism of Ancestry.com transcriptions done by "professional" transcribers, not of census transcribers in general. My own experience of Ancestry.com has also been that there are a lot of errors.

Merely as an observation here, is it possible that those who use Ancestry.com are more in touch with each other for the purposes of sharing errors, than those who find errors in volunteer projects, FreeCEN, FreeBMD and all the other local Family History societies who have recruited volunteers. Perhaps its because they pay to use it. Janet
