1921 census transcription issues
Posted: 18 Feb 2024, 09:17
I recently “upgraded “ my Find my Past subscription to include unlimited access to the 1921 census. Using Family Tree Analyser I extracted all the records from my tree (I use Family Historian) and started going through them. It’s quite a task as I have just under 10000 records, although many hundreds will have died before 1921. I’m getting there - but I am astonished at the number of transcription errors that there are. Many of them are extremely basic errors. I reckon I’m spending an extra 40-50% of time just unravelling these. Have others had this problem?
