    1. Re: [SXP] FMP Mis transcriptions
    2. Ros Dunning
    3. I have found a number of very common mistranscriptions on FMP. Double S commonly comes up as a P e.g. Proper for Prosser or Crop for Cross. X is commonly transcribed at a T e.g. Cot for Cox. S frequently is mistranscribed as L e.g Launders for Saunders. It is all because handwriting has changed. If you are aware of these common mistakes it can help in searching and in the mean time I have always notified FMP of any errors I have found. Generally they do put them right and if they refuse you can re-submit Ros -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anne Mountifield Sent: 28 July 2011 19:18 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [SXP] FMP Mis transcriptions It sounds as though I have been lucky because FMP has accepted all the corrections I have submitted so far. I do have two couples I have yet to find on the 1911 census, one of them also missing in 1901, so there may well be more mis-transcriptions in my future! Apart from that, I have been very pleased with all the information I have found via the site.
