    3. Ian & Listers It's a difficult job handling so many names. I put my hand up to having made errors, and no doubt the odd few exist. While I agree that webmasters need to be informed of anything amiss, I conscientiously seek out errors/duplication. I think this may be a 'time' issue. Ian, I've no idea whether you are in employment or not, or how much time each day you spend on Mullgenealogy. On average, I work on MullFamilies 12 hours per day, 7 days a week (some days, a mind-numbing 16-17 hours) Some errors/duplication are difficult to see, yet others can stand out like a sore thumb. It would be utopian if everything was as it should be, but over time we strive to 'get there'. Personally, I think that Mullgenalogy is a good website with lots to offer. Ian has given me his reasons for not going 'TNG', but I'd be lost without it. Linda too is doing a good job with Ancestralplaces.

    1. [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] What is TNG?
    2. Jean Whimp
    3. Forgive me Michael but what is TNG.? I haven't tried your website but i should explain that the original of the 1841 census that I handed on to Ian came from sitting at the LDS film (hired in for me) and copying line for line so there may well have been errors in that work that I unwittingly passed on to Ian when I passed the 8 parishes on in toto. I copied it into a booklet and then onto my computer as at that stage I did not have a lap top. It is a much easier job now as I think this was done about 20 years ago when I retired !!!. jean -----Original Message----- From: sct-isleofmull-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:sct-isleofmull-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of MF Sent: Wednesday, 18 September 2013 10:17 PM To: sct-isleofmull@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [SCT-ISLEOFMULL] MullGenealogy.co.uk - thanks to Ian Ian & Listers It's a difficult job handling so many names.

    3.
