Birth Year and farm name of mother is Transcribed incorrectly

[Anne Lund]

https://media.digitalarkivet.no/view/6072/93 Ministerialbok nr. 7, 1863-1884, s. 88 Entry #62 Anne's mother is born in 1839 not 1859. When comparing handwriting on this page it should be 1839. Also all other sources found are listed with 1839. Also the farm name should in this written record is Gaugstad not Gurgisted as it is in the transcribed record.

Here is the link for the incorrectly transcribed record, https://www.digitalarkivet.no/en/view/255/pd00000027601518

Can someone please report this mistake to the Norwegian Digital Archives so that they can correct the transcribed record to reflect the original document?

Thank you,

Anne Lund

«Proofreading of registered church books (AMF)

 

In October 2020, we published the registered church books that AMF (Ancestry, MyHeritage, Familysearch) has contributed to the Digital Archive.

 

It is a wish of our guests and the Digital Archive that the registrations from AMF undergo a proofreading. We have therefore started a proofreading service for this material, « (further: my addition) where volontaires make corrections in the previous transcribed files. (church books)

«The increase in proofreading reports is so strong that the Digital Archive no longer has the capacity to review them. Often there is not just one mistake, but many mistakes in one and the same registered church book. It is far more appropriate to proofread and correct entire church books, than to make random corrections.

 

On the basis of this, we have now closed the possibility of reporting on AMF's registrations of the church registers' lists of baptized, consecrated and buried between approx. 1815-1938.»

Thank you Anne-Lise Hansen. I understand completely. I wish people who did the indexing would be more careful. Thanks again for your reply.

They,ve done their best, I think. (You see, AMF outsourced the job to India.)

 

Many of us have decided to look at these transcriptions with a big portion of humor and chip in and participate in correcting the errors. I’m om my 9th. church book now. You are welcome too. 🙂
