Now when I search 1616A 006 the first results page says there are 39 matches (originally there were 40 but now mum's entry is closed). The 20 names displayed on the first page of results are the original people still mis-transcribed. When I go to the second (also last) page of results the number of results changes to 56 (and now there are three pages of results!). Some of the names listed on the second page of results are the same people from page one, plus a few and minus a few, all from the original **** up. When I click to see page three I get a new version of page 2 with no names on it!!!

Great stuff. I wonder if they will ever actually make the corrections? (and to all the other pages that are mis-transcribed in this set.)

Today it's back to the original 39 incorrectly indexed names.

As you know, Merry, I haven't shown my face much on GF lately. Lot going on here. (Don't worry, I'll be back whether anyone likes it or not.) But I just have to keep checking in on your spellbinder of a thread! And I must say this latest plot turn is breathtaking.

Does anyone know if anything's been said about the 1939 Register details for Scotland & N. Ireland? Will those details be released at any point? I would have thought ScotlandsPeople would want to release Scottish 1939 records at some point, but I've not heard anything about that yet.

There is a new version of Scotland's People coming later this year, James, but I don't know whether they are working on adding the 1939 Register to it yet:

Going live in September? Interesting. Thanks a lot, Kate. Hopefully it does include the 1939 Register, then.

I wish they would have a subscription option.

The six month mark has now passed since I reported the issue I had with page 1616A 006. Nothing has changed so I have sent them another message!
