Who When Where

When people ask me how I became interested in family history it is easy to answer; “I was born.” That may sound facetious but in reality, my destiny was determined from day 1. I was given my mother’s maiden surname as my only forename, my brothers each had two forenames and my only sister four foren...

Not only is you suggestion wrong it is insulting! You obviously know nothing about the task involved and the facts behind the transcription.

Of course, that works in both directions and since the limit is slightly a...

A rather disturbing description of how the transcription was done appears on https://www.findmypast.co.uk/help/articles/4415870561041-how-was-the-1921-census-transcribed- . It says: When transcription of the 1921 Census of England and Wales took place, each digital image had to be broken up into se...

What errors have you found in the images, any or none? I will take note of you comment when you produce a similar sized data set with no errors. It is often the case that many of those who complain have never attempted to produce something similar. Cheers Guy I spent 16 minutes looking for my grand...

Whilst the website did not crash there are so many errors and data not entered, not surprised as this is what the private sector does. What errors have you found in the images, any or none?
