    3. If you found any errors or cannot find your ancestor note the following which was in a UK national newspaper today: “Amateur historians eager for data from the 1901 census website are being frustrated by a new hiccup – the online service is riddled with errors and spelling mistakes that can make it almost impossible to use. The errors are so bad that in some cases, the website has wiped towns from the map and told site users that their ancestors never existed. Many of the howlers have been attributed to the fact that a large number of the details were indexed by companies based in Sri Lanka and India.” Can you imagine a typist in Sri Lanka understanding some of the obscure place names in Sutherland?
