Yay! I'm Making some progress! Anywhoo, I've noticed a transcription error on one of the records. Is there anyway I can let them know so they can change it?

You can only alter names, and only if they are mistranscribed, not if they are incorrectly recorded on the image. You need to choose View Record and when you get the individual record up, on the right hand side is PAGE TOOLS - listed underneath is Comments and corrections. click on this to add your amendment. They don't change their mistranscribed version, but they attach your alternative to it. nell
