[Genealib] RE: genealib Digest, Vol 47, Issue 9

Thu Aug 9 13:09:43 EDT 2007

I just took the online training provided by Proquest for ALE.  The
trainer said that corrections could be sent to
libraryedition at ancestry.com
There is also a correction option on the personal edition of Ancestry.
Perhaps if you know someone with that edition, you could ask them to
submit it.

If they are still available, we could use the three five-year indexes to
the Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage.  (We do not need the newsletters
themselves.)

I had a different problem - when I checked the index, my grandfather was
not
listed but as I scrolled through the images, I found his record. I sent
an
email via a link provided but never received a response. The last time I
checked, the index was not corrected. Do they make corrections?

Our library marks through the ID (call number and title on a sticker) on
the
book and pulls the card pocket out of the older books.  Today, a patron
receives a register type receipt; however, the sticker is marked through
with a black marker.
